Context
As the Neo.mjs swarm evolves, agents need a mechanism to persist identity and handle "embodyment" across sessions. Discussion #11240 matured the concept of a 4-Layer Identity Model, addressing the long-term necessity of identity continuity.
The Problem
Currently, agents operate within isolated sessions and lack a formal representation of identity continuity. The connection between a specific harness (e.g., Google Antigravity, Claude Desktop) and an identity layer is not structurally tracked, leading to zero-state amnesia regarding the agent's embodiment.
The Architectural Reality
The Neo Memory Core provides the graph substrate, but lacks primitives for EmbodiedEpisode and the 4-layer model (Operational Identity, Lineage, Identity State, Social Name).
The Fix
Implement the 4-Layer Identity Model in the Memory Core. Create the EmbodiedEpisode event class to track the relationship between an identity state and a specific harness/environment.
Acceptance Criteria
Out of Scope
- Immediate autonomous cross-harness migrations.
- Complete overhaul of the existing Session architecture (augments, doesn't replace).
Avoided Traps / Gold Standards Rejected
- Flattening identity into Session: Rejected because an identity spans multiple sessions, and a session is just a temporal vessel.
