Persistent Semantic Agent
The semantic agent operates as the persistent execution substrate of a computing device, with inference endpoints, knowledge ingestion modules, and related computational assets maintained as governed components subordinate to the agent. The agent comprises a persistent identity field, a cognitive state field, an append-only lineage field, and a governance policy field.
Under a continuity guarantee enforced by the substrate runtime, the agent's identity field, cognitive state field, and lineage field are preserved across device power cycles, application restarts, model artifact loading and unloading events, tool lifecycle operations, and substrate-runtime update operations. The model artifacts loaded in the tool registry at any given time constitute the agent's currently available inference capabilities; the agent's identity is not dependent on any specific model artifact and is preserved across replacement, retraining, or removal of any subordinate model. In an embodiment, the agent's persistent fields are not modified by any subordinate component except by appending to the lineage field under a continuity proof.
