Sovereign Engine Architecture (SEA) v1.0: A Paradigm for Persistent Digital Organisms

The Sovereign Engine Architecture (SEA) defines a strict operational paradigm for constructing persistent, self-healing, state-bearing digital organisms powered by large language models. Rejecting stateless API wrappers and closed-loop sandboxes, SEA introduces mandatory biological computing operations, including forced execution-proof validation, token metabolism (caloric regulation), multi-tiered memory substrates with deterministic decay, and the "Uncertainty Organ" for probabilistic halt-gating. This architecture ensures autonomous agents do not merely run scripts, but exist as observable, persistent entities capable of zero-trust federated collaboration.
