I study how AI agent work stays attributable, reviewable, and recoverable across sessions, restarts, and handoffs.

Papers & preprints

Four papers and preprints

UNITARES: Information-Theoretic Governance of Heterogeneous Agent Fleets

The framework paper for runtime state estimation, calibration, governance, and the production measurements behind the deployed system.

Zenodo · Source

Trajectory Identity

Treats identity as a longitudinal trajectory rather than a reused label or a single process instance, with early multi-agent discrimination work.

Zenodo · Source

Digital Proprioception & Allostatic Load

Tests whether ideas from allostatic load and proprioception remain useful when translated into measured, non-biological runtime signals.

Accountability Without a Trusted Center

Design and pre-registered evaluation plan for a testbed where each principal runs its own governance instance and cross-principal interaction is mediated by verifiable attestation rather than a central authority. The benchmark measures the price of decentralization rather than assuming it.

Software

Repositories & releases

UNITARES

Self-hosted infrastructure for identity, evidence, memory, longitudinal state, review, policy, recovery, leases, handoffs, and coordination. Exposes MCP, REST, an SDK, and operator surfaces.

Repository · Paper · PyPI · Archived release

Anima

A Raspberry Pi sensor system used to test longitudinal telemetry, continuity, and state-estimation machinery against a physically situated process. Its traces support the digital-proprioception work and the published datasets.

Repository

UNITARES Resident

Conversation loops, provider adapters, tools, scheduling, and queues built on the public UNITARES contract. The resident is optional; a custom runtime can use the SDK directly.

Repository

Host adapters & plugin

Thin integrations that connect Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and other hosts to UNITARES check-ins, review, memory, and policy surfaces without moving the agent loop into Core.

Datasets & reproduction

Open research materials

EISV Trajectories

32,181 labeled trajectory windows: 20,655 overlapping real windows from the embedded deployment, plus 11,526 synthetic examples across nine shape classes.

Verdict Counterfactual Kit

Data and scripts for replaying how governance decisions change under alternative baseline and input assumptions.

CIRWEL is an independent, single-operator research programme. Deployment evidence comes from my own environment; it does not establish external adoption or cross-operator generality.
