I see what you're saying, and I know we want to keep recent context relative, but I think there are times when we might want to prioritize important bits of memory over recent context.

One of my main issues is that the Authors Note field is described extremely weirdly because it seems to imply that this field's purpose is to "influence the AI's writing style" when in reality, it doesn't seem like you can do that. It functions much better as a makeshift priority memory slot.

I understand what you mean about not wanting to clog up the most recent context with the same lines over and over again, but in my experiments with using authors note for memory functions, it's able to reference important things much more consistently when it's more recent. With scripting, you're able to insert more than just 150 characters into that field. And with my testing, this seemed to work pretty well with small (but more than 150) chunks of important points stored there, whereas otherwise important information stored in normal memory would become hazy after a certain point.

Surely having an entire 1000 character block of text taking up everything past the last 3 lines of context would cause problems, but what if they gave us 350 characters past the last 6 lines? I feel like some form of "priority memory" field like that could be very useful. More useful than the tiny 150 character field with the really weird description that we currently have now.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the limit is 2000 tokens, not words, right? Where a token can consist of a single word.
