Who maintains The Continuity Layer
An independent reference for AI continuity, memory, and long-running agents — and a plain account of who keeps it, and the standards it’s held to.
Who maintains this
The Continuity Layer is built and maintained by one independent builder who also does commercial work in this field. The System, Governance and Lab pages describe the maintainer's own research prototype; they are project reports, not independent evaluations.
The field map organizes public research and vendor documentation. Commercial interests are disclosed; the same sourcing and correction standards apply to the maintainer’s work and outside projects.
The maintainer is Adam, the person the System, Governance and Hall of Directors pages call the Owner. You can reach him at thecontinuitylayer@gmail.com or through Work with Adam.
Why this exists
The Continuity Layer is maintained from the perspective of an independent builder developing a research prototype. The goal is not to replace academic research or vendor documentation, but to organize, compare, and connect them into a coherent public reference.
It started from a practical problem: information in this field is fragmented, the terminology drifts from source to source, and the continuity failures are real once you’re running systems that have to persist across time. This site aims to make those sources easier to compare.
The standards this is held to
Independence — vendors and frameworks are documented on the merits; placement is never for sale.
Evidence over opinion — claims are attributed, evidence limits are stated, and sources are linked.
Corrections over ego — when the map is wrong, the fix is published and dated, not hidden.
Stewardship over speed — this is built to be maintained for years, not to win a launch week.
What to expect
A reference that shows its work: disagreements surfaced instead of smoothed over, sources you can trace, and a maintainer accountable to the standards above. Hold it to them.
