I don't know if I am answering your question but I don't usually think
of it as retrieving a memory, but rather when the action is completed
once, I have the agent schedule itself to do the same thing X periods in
the future. If you don't schedule the agent to do the thing X times in
the future, you can schedule a method "considerDoingIt" X times in the
future, and that method can make a decision about it and put the action
on the schedule.
See what I mean? I've been incorrect with a probability in the last
week.
