ContinuumPort CP-Core Specification

Semantic continuity for long-running AI work

Summary

The CP-Core specification defines how semantic context — intent, constraints, decisions, and reasoning state — can be captured and transferred across AI sessions and systems.

It exists to address a structural limitation of current AI workflows:
the loss of continuity every time a new session begins.

CP-Core is designed for serious, cumulative work where progress depends on preserving not just results, but the reasoning that led to them.

What This Specification Is (and Is Not)

This specification:

  • defines a portable semantic context format
  • is model-agnostic and vendor-neutral
  • focuses on continuity, not conversation history
  • is designed for long-running, cumulative work
  • enables reproducibility without re-explaining everything

This specification is not:

  • a chat transcript format
  • a memory dump
  • a prompt engineering framework
  • a replacement for model intelligence
  • a storage system for personal data

When You Need CP-Core

You likely need CP-Core if:

  • your work spans multiple AI sessions or tools
  • results build on earlier reasoning
  • reconstructing context is costly or fragile
  • reproducibility matters
  • you are doing research, engineering, or deep creative work

If every session feels like starting over, CP-Core addresses that problem.

Conceptual Overview

CP-Core captures the semantic trajectory of work by structuring:

  • Intent — what the work is trying to achieve
  • State — what has already been decided or established
  • Constraints — what is fixed or non-negotiable
  • Trajectory — how reasoning evolved over time

This context can then be re-hydrated in a new AI session or system, allowing work to continue without reconstructing the same line of thought.

CP-Core preserves meaning — not memory.
