# Cross-Session Continuity **Entity class:** Concept or operational method **Domain:** Future Intelligence ## Definition An agent resumes work with relevant goals, sources, and findings preserved from prior sessions. Continuity supports long investigations and sustained collaboration without repeated reconstruction of context. ## Operational role Bryant projects intelligence toward persistent collaborators and continuously sensed environments. Memory, access, compute, orchestration, and provenance determine what these systems can perceive and do. The future concepts name possible architectures and participation roles beyond the current products used to motivate them. **Architecture connections:** [[wiki/Machine Intelligence|Machine Intelligence]] · [[wiki/AI Agent|AI Agent]] · [[wiki/Agentic Memory|Agentic Memory]]. ## Relationships - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Agentic Memory|Long-Term Agent Memory]]. - **article-linked mechanism or framework:** [[wiki/Persistent AI Investigator|Persistent AI Investigator]]. - **collection route:** [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]]. - **counterterrorism architecture:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. - **source article:** [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft|The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [[articles/The Coming Market for Civilian Spycraft#XII.
