Open Cognition

Reference substrate for governed agent memory.

open-cognition is a reference substrate for governed agent memory.

It defines immutable canonical objects, agent-scoped references, and a universal stop lifecycle so distributed AI systems remain auditable, attributable, and resistant to silent state manipulation.

The project focuses on:

  • governed memory structures
  • provenance preservation
  • attributable state transitions
  • operational auditability
  • distributed agent coordination
  • and reversible memory interaction patterns
