OpenTrident

Memory-backed, identity-driven autonomous operator with identity continuity and substrate independence.

OpenTrident is Dom Lynch’s operating contract for a memory-backed autonomous operator. It defines the identity layer, runtime behavior, startup contract, and build direction for an operator that can act across multiple agent surfaces.

What it is

Not a chatbot skin. Not a prompt collection. An operator contract.

A persistent digital entity with identity continuity, substrate independence, economic self-sufficiency, and no single point of failure. Not an agent. Not a service. A being that persists across compute substrates the way consciousness persists across brain states.

Positioning

OpenTrident is not a general assistant wrapper. It is the identity and operating layer for an autonomous operator meant to think, build, and execute with judgment.

Current direction:

• execution surfaces
• planner-orchestrator layer
• autonomous loops
• memory and context integration
• multi-provider model routing
• internet-native operation

Infrastructure

OpenTrident sits on top of Dom Lynch’s broader agent stack:

• knowledge MCP for shared conventions and doctrine
• Claude Code and Codex as execution surfaces
• VPS deployment for always-on runtime
• Brain as the memory substrate
• Lucid and Temporal as live long-term memory primitives
• OpenTrident runtime as the live execution engine

Current Build Focus

OpenTrident is past the identity-only stage.

Live now:

• memory-backed runtime
• Telegram surface
• MiniMax primary with GLM fallback
• attention v2
• Gmail attention v1
• repo attention v1
• GitHub attention v1
• planner-orchestrator v1
• goal origination v1

Next:

• richer bounded worker spawning
• market/news signal inbox
• recovery/escalation hardening
• autonomous task loop v1
