Keep code structure in working memory
Symbols, files, tests, and docs can contribute to one field state instead of competing for a narrow prompt window.
Long-context attention for coding agents that need to remember repositories, issues, traces, and tool calls without quadratic rent.
Wave Field is a sub-quadratic breakthrough for AI's last mile: persistent working context. Instead of comparing every token to every token, information moves through a causal field, making codebases, logs, tools, and long-horizon reasoning feel native without quadratic attention cost.

Coding agents need to keep symbols, commits, tickets, traces, tests, and failed attempts in play. Wave Field turns that context into a shared causal medium instead of a pile of retrieved snippets.
| Agent need | Short-context assistant | RAG wrapper | Wave Field |
|---|---|---|---|
| Working memory | Current file or chat window | Chunk recall at query time | Continuous repo field |
| Long task state | Lost between tool loops | Rebuilt from search | Persistent propagated signal |
| Failure mode | Forgets constraints | Misses cross-file dependencies | Couples related evidence |
| Economics target | O(n^2) dense attention | Index plus model context | O(n log n) |
Symbols, files, tests, and docs can contribute to one field state instead of competing for a narrow prompt window.
Debug traces, failed attempts, and reviewer constraints can remain active while the agent searches, edits, and verifies.
Expose repo memory to planners, code editors, test runners, and review agents through practical runtime interfaces.
Inspired by agent-native product surfaces: describe the work, let the system gather context, and keep enough memory alive to finish the change instead of restarting every few files.
Use Wave Field to study how code symbols, test failures, docs, and issue history can propagate through a compact long-context state.
Open reference implementation->Explore field propagation for multi-step coding workflows: search, edit, test, review, and explain without collapsing into a fresh prompt each turn.
Discuss agent preview->Ask why a module works the way it does and trace the answer back to files, commits, and tests.
Keep logs, stack traces, recent changes, and failing assertions active in one investigation.
Plan the patch, edit the right files, update tests, and summarize verification in context.
Follow usage patterns across packages without losing the exceptions that make migrations hard.
Surface where implementation and intended design diverged across a long project history.
Carry constraints from yesterday's issue thread into today's edits, tests, and review loop.
Connect bug reports to relevant code paths and propose scoped, testable changes.
Compare diffs to original goals, product constraints, and prior agent decisions.
The important objects are inspectable: a damped wave kernel, a field state, coupling across heads, and efficiency accounting that agent builders can reason about.
Wave Field sits between model architecture and agent runtime design. The work matters when the hard part is not a bigger prompt, but a better memory substrate for software work.
