Stored Is Not Supported: Typed Provenance and Assertion Guardrails for Persistent AI Agents
Jun He, Deying Yu
Persistent AI agents construct autobiographical state through reflection, retrieval, and consolidation. Persistence changes availability, not epistemic standing: stored or retrieve…
The Illusion of Independent Quorums: Epistemic Fault Domains and Correlated Cognitive Failures in Agentic Quorums
Jun He, Deying Yu
Multi-agent quorums are widely used to authorize high-stakes infrastructure and policy mutations, yet distinct reviewers often share upstream telemetry, documents, or tool backends…
Agent-Native Telemetry: Verifiable State-Delta Evidence for Autonomous Operations
Jun He, Deying Yu
Operational telemetry is predominantly engineered for human reading: systems repeatedly serialize verbose prose, static keys, and redundant context across billions of log lines. As…
Beyond Memory: A Transactional Continuity Kernel for Long-Lived AI Agents
Jun He, Deying Yu
Persistent AI agents accumulate versioned state across long horizons, but storage retention alone does not identify authoritative state. Without an explicit control plane, unmediat…
The Honest Quorum Problem: Epistemic Byzantine Fault Tolerance for Agentic Infrastructure
Jun He, Deying Yu
State machine replication (SMR) and Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus guarantee agreement despite a bounded number of arbitrary, colluding faulty participants. However, thes…
Replicating Belief, Not Bits: Epistemic State Replication for Agentic Systems
Jun He, Deying Yu
In distributed systems, the classical State Machine Replication (SMR) model assumes that correct replicas execute deterministic transitions to yield identical bitwise states. Howev…
