An LLM-based agent is a loop that reads itself. Agentic frameworks externalize identity, memory, and disposition into editable files.

arXiv:2606. 10413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Breakthroughs in large language models and multimodal generation technologies have propelled the digital reconstruction of human mental traits, emotional patterns, and long-term memory from science fiction toward engineering practice.
The paper proposes five runtime primitives—discovery, identity, governance, attestation, and supply chain—to manage autonomous AI agents in enterprise settings. It argues that traditional control models fail because agents are transient, model-driven, and self‑discoverable, making runtime governance essential. The authors detail an implementation that mediates agent actions against policy, authorizes them via a per‑tenant vocabulary, and records them in a verifiable ledger, noting the associated operational costs and partial deployment status.

arXiv:2606. 01722v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For decades, distributed systems have typically assumed that correct participants execute protocol-specified behavior with stable, externally defined, and deterministic semantics.
arXiv:2606. 30306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Always-on agents are systems whose future behavior depends on durable state accumulated across earlier interactions.
The Civilization Framework proposes a new way to structure communication between AI agents by treating the civilization—comprising a human sovereign, a persistent ledger, and interchangeable agents—as the addressable party rather than individual agents. It introduces the Embassy Protocol, an asynchronous, carrier‑agnostic overlay that routes messages to a ledger endpoint where any online agent can process them, with commitment state on ledgers serving as the true record of interaction. The paper also identifies a temporal‑weight effect in AI‑to‑AI communication, demonstrates its impact in a preregistered experiment, and discusses mitigation strategies such as instruction‑level provenance labeling and sealed‑answer accuracy equivalence. whyItMatters":"The framework offers a novel architecture that could reduce context loss and authority bias in multi‑agent AI systems, potentially improving reliability and accountability in AI‑driven interactions."
Always-on agents are systems whose future behavior depends on durable state accumulated across earlier interactions. We treat them as persistent-state systems: the operative system includes retrievable memories, but also task ledgers, permissions, credentials, commitments, provenance and audit records, shared state, trigger conditions, and externally committed effects linked to those records.
