Continuity
Context over time
How important state can persist across sessions without reducing continuity to simple storage or transcript replay.
Research & architecture
Long-horizon coherence.
Public research themes are presented at a deliberately high level while patentability and disclosure strategy are under review.
Governance
Traceable authority
How permissions, policies, human override, provenance, and review can remain explicit as systems become more capable.
Attention
What deserves foreground influence
How systems can distinguish enduring truth from transient information, historical record, or low-priority context.
Continuity Recursive Engine (CRE)
CRE is an underlying research and architectural layer within VANTHOS concerned with continuity across AI-assisted interactions. Earlier VANTHOS development records use CRE in connection with contextual capture, retrieval, resurfacing, and continuity behavior.
This public description intentionally stops at the functional level. Detailed mechanisms, technical claims, algorithms, and implementation-specific architecture are withheld while patentability and disclosure timing are reviewed.
Human-in-the-loop by design
VANTHOS treats human involvement as a stabilizing governance mechanism rather than a temporary limitation. Historical governance documents emphasize human override, explainability, provenance, recorded precedent, and permissions flowing from higher-order rules into everyday operation.
Long horizon
The project asks a simple question with difficult consequences: what changes when an AI-assisted system is designed around months and years of coherent work instead of isolated sessions?
