The Log is the Agent: Event-Sourced Reactive Graphs for Auditable, Forkable Agentic Systems
- View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Most agent frameworks are built around the language model: a conversation loop comes first, then tools, then rules, and finally a logging layer bolted on for observability, with state persisted as retrievable "memory.
- " We describe ActiveGraph, a runtime that inverts this arrangement.
- The append-only event log is the source of truth; the working graph is a deterministic projection of that log; and behaviors--ordinary functions, classes, LLM-backed routines, or logic attached to typed edges--react to changes in the graph and emit new events.
