The Missing Harness

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in computing. The transition from deterministic software to probabilistic agents is not just a change in algorithms—it's a change in state management.

Today's AI applications are built on fragile scaffolds. We chain prompts together with scripts, hoping the context window doesn't overflow and the API doesn't timeout. When an agent fails, it fails opaquely. There is no stack trace for a hallucination. There is no core dump for a lost train of thought.

The Durable State Primitives

At Paper Compute, we believe the solution lies in bringing proven distributed systems primitives to the agentic workflow. We don't need smarter models to solve reliability; we need durable execution.

We are building the missing harness:

• 01. Deterministic Replayability. Rewind your agent's thought process step-by-step. Debug logic, not just code.
• 02. Infinite Context Virtualization. Treat context windows like RAM. Swap memory to disk seamlessly when the model gets overloaded.
• 03. Verifiable State Transitions. Ensure that when an agent commits a change, it is ACID-compliant and auditable.

The future of software is agents, but agents need a solid ground to stand on. We are pouring the concrete.

Observability First

You can't debug what you can't see. You can't optimize what you can't measure. You can't heal what you don't understand. Today's agents fail opaquely—no telemetry for decisions, no post-mortems for failures, no path from expensive models to efficient ones.

We start with observability because it's the foundation of the entire agent infrastructure stack. Telemetry isn't a feature. It's the prerequisite for everything else: security, cost control, reliability, and intelligent recovery from failure.
