The Agent Artifact Availability (AAA) framework defines the reliability property required to support Cumulative Computing systems. Seven technical notes develop the framework from first principles.

  1. Paper 01
    Agent Artifact Availability (AAA)
    Introduces Agent Artifact Availability as the reliability property governing the preservation of computational artifacts across agents, workflows, and time.
  2. Paper 02
    Artifacts as Units of Computational Work
    Establishes that computational artifacts are first-class objects representing completed computational work.
  3. Paper 03
    Artifact Graphs and the Preservation of Computational Work
    Introduces artifact graphs as directed graphs encoding the structure of computational work.
  4. Paper 04
    Why Storage Systems Lose Computational Work
    Evaluates traditional storage models against artifact graph requirements and demonstrates why none preserve computational work.
  5. Paper 05
    The Artifact Availability Layer
    Introduces the Artifact Availability Layer as the infrastructure required to preserve computational work.
  6. Paper 06
    Deterministic Artifact Identity
    Defines deterministic artifact identity as the mechanism that makes artifact graphs verifiable.
  7. Paper 07
    Computational Work Conservation
    Establishes the principle of Computational Work Conservation and reveals Cumulative Computing as the paradigm.
