An assistant can stop repeating a deleted statement while its recurrent memory still carries that statement's influence. We examine this distinction by saving the state difference immediately after a record, transporting this receipt through later updates, and comparing the correction with the state built from the same conversation with the record omitted. Unrolling the recurrence gives an exact criterion: transport reaches this never-stored state if and only if the additional differences created by later updates cancel after transport. We connect this criterion to eleven conditions on 40 pros
