Sovereign Continuity Design — a formal protocol for persistent AI identity across model switches, rate limits, and infrastructure failures.
Paul Desai · N1 Intelligence (OPC) Pvt Ltd · December 2025
The SCD Protocol defines a formal approach to AI session continuity in sovereign, multi-model infrastructure. When an AI agent switches from one model to another — due to rate limits, capability routing, or cost optimization — the SCD Protocol specifies how identity, context, and behavioral history are preserved.
The core insight: continuity should live in structured data, not in a model's context window. A CONTINUITY.md file updated at session boundaries, a memory bus that persists events, and a handoff protocol that any model can consume — these are the components of sovereign continuity.
