Independent research and engineering for durable agent work · 1 August 2026

Work should survive the intelligence that started it.

Ordivon keeps AI work coherent when a model session ends, a process restarts, or one provider replaces another. It preserves task meaning, execution evidence, and a recoverable path forward.

Tested under replacement

One task survived Codex↔Hermes replacement and three injected faults.

Four live provider runs completed both replacement orders. Host rejected stale completion, rejected success without an artifact, and recovered a response-lost Runtime job without dispatching the work twice.

  1. Provider runs4Real Codex App Server and Hermes ACP runs, not simulated adapters.
  2. Replacement orders2 / 2Codex→Hermes and Hermes→Codex both completed one coherent task attempt.
  3. Injected faults3Stale assignment, missing artifact, and response loss were contained without inventing completion.
What Survived When Codex and Hermes Replaced Each Other Mid-Taskanswered research question

State ownership

Three consequence boundaries and one research plane keep the work legible.

Host, Runtime, and World preserve different consequence-bearing facts. Computing tests which contracts deserve to remain shared.

Under test now

Ordivon Game · testing

Which game structures become possible only when Agents persist and act through the same Host?

Testing with a released application. Station Zero now demonstrates persistent specialists, partial observations, communication whose reachability changes outcomes, player authority, provider replacement, replay, diagnosis, and exact run comparison. It still does not prove that these mechanics outperform a strong classical implementation or equal-budget single Agent.
