# Information theory, memory, and the human-machine interface

- **Author**: Thomas K. Landauer
- **Year**: 1986
- **Summary**: This work explores the application of information theory to human memory. It discusses the trade-offs between information storage, retrieval speed, and accuracy. It provides a quantitative framework for analyzing the efficiency of memory systems, which can be applied to design optimal forgetting and summarization algorithms in AI agents.
