A note that the next AI safety boundary may be controlled reproduction, inheritance, forks, permissions, and deployment ecology.

A note that systems age operationally through wear, dependencies, drift, and maintenance burden, not only through biological decline.

From Better Chat to Stable Presence
A case that stable agent presence requires continuity, constraints, and durable audit trails rather than better chat alone.
