Runtime-Independent Persistent Agents: Preserving Identity, Memory, and Code Across Models, Harnesses, and Servers

A runtime-independent architecture for persistent agents with six continuity invariants and a quiesce--checkpoint--validate--bind--rehydrate--resume protocol is presented and Enoch realizes the design as a reusable body plus private installed identity, memory, workflow state, and continuation authority.

Integrated ERT and PQWT Investigation for Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Groundwater Development in the Basement Complex Terrain of Oban Farmland, Southeastern Nigeria

Groundwater is essential for agricultural development, particularly where surface-water resources are limited. However, groundwater occurrence in crystalline basement terrains is difficult to predict because lithology and geological structures vary considerably over short distances. This study evaluated the groundwater...

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
