Hierarchical datastore for an agent

A device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a non-transitory memory;
• a sensor;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the device to:
• maintain a hierarchical datastore for an agent instantiated in a computer-generated reality (CGR) environment, wherein the hierarchical datastore includes a plurality of storage hierarchies including a first storage hierarchy associated with a first data type and a second storage hierarchy associated with a second data type;
• detect, by a CGR representation of the agent, a sensory input that includes sensory input data;
• determine a type of the sensory input data based on a comparison of the sensory input data with information known to the agent;
• in response to the sensory input data being of the first data type, store the sensory input data in the first storage hierarchy for a first amount of time that is less than a lifetime of the agent;
• and
• in response to the sensory input data being of the second data type, store the sensory input data in the second storage hierarchy for a second amount of time that is equal to the lifetime of the agent, wherein storing the sensory input data in different storage hierarchies based on the data type reduces the need to store information regarding a relationship between the first data type and the second data type.
