for the model to experience something, it’s own weights have to change
Yes, exactly. An experience, by definition, must change your behavior. The model being bit-for-bit identical in between prompts precludes this. I can experience you telling me my mother died, and my behavior would change as a result: I might conclude you’re an asshole without any credibility, and behave accordingly.

I don’t entirely agree with this definition (most of my day is mundane things that don’t really change me), but even then, it’s behavior does change, just not permanently. Or if you just protect the kv cache consider a whole system like model + harness + files, then it does in fact change permanently as well.
