Contextualized Path-Weighting Memory Trace

The problem

Standard pathfinding only looks at the shortest route from point A to B without considering the history of how you got there. It fails to account for how past movements influence future choices.

What it does

It calculates a route through a map while keeping a log of every step taken. It then updates the cost of the path based on that history, showing how the 'memory' of the journey changes the best route.

Why it matters

It allows for pathfinding that adapts to the history of movement rather than just looking at the immediate next step.

Validation

It was run in the sandbox and it failed. run output shows an error/traceback — the artifact does NOT run clean.

No screenshot — there is nothing working to show. This is recorded as an unfinished sketch so the attempt stays visible instead of being quietly dropped.

The code

All of it — 27 lines, one file, standard library only.
