Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for defining cognition-compatible semantic agent objects structured to support memory-bearing, policy-governed, and traceable semantic execution. Each semantic agent object comprises one or more canonical semantic fields including an intent field, a context block, a memory field, a policy reference field, a mutation descriptor field, and a lineage field. Structural validation is performed at the data-object level based on field presence and coherence, independent of any particular execution environment. Partial semantic agents comprising subsets of canonical fields are supported through deterministic fallback inference and structural scaffolding. Authorized mutation pathways are governed jointly by mutation descriptors and policies identified by the policy reference field, while lineage fields preserve provenance and continuity across agent evolution. Semantic agent objects are serializable and operable across stateless and distributed computing environments, enabling decentralized semantic execution, governance enforcement, and auditability without reliance on centralized orchestration or persistent runtime state.
