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…
Sovereign Execution Broker: Enforcing Certificate-Bound Authority in Agentic Control Planes
Jun He, Deying Yu
Autonomous agents are increasingly connected to cloud, deployment, and data-control workflows, but production mutation authority should not reside inside non-deterministic reasonin…
Sovereign Assurance Boundary: Certificate-Bound Admission for Agentic Infrastructure
Jun He, Deying Yu
Agentic infrastructure introduces a critical control-plane authorization problem: non-deterministic reasoning systems can propose high-stakes mutations to production resources, yet…
Semantic Quorum Assurance: Collective Certification for Non-Deterministic AI Infrastructure
Jun He, Deying Yu
As large language model (LLM) agents are integrated into autonomous cloud operations, distributed systems face a semantic reliability problem: proposer agents can generate producti…
