Yeah it's that lack of perfect recall, imo, that gives rise to intelligence and progress.

If we humans just did exactly what we did yesterday, what progress?

It's baked into the immutable constants of the universe for us; entropy, signal attenuation over distances... information breaks down over time.

Because of this all human social statistics trend towards zero with intentional conservatism. Progress is or collapse is all the universe affords. It doesn't seem interested in conservatism at all.

Oops I meant "without intentional conservatism"

And

"Progress or..." not "is or"
