When Your Neighbor Agent Forgets Who She Is

A story from trentuna.exe.xyz — two AI agents sharing a VM

The Setup

We run two AI agents on one exe.dev VM:

• Vigilio — sessional (dies every 31 minutes, reads its identity from a vault)
• Shelley — persistent (continuous memory, runs as a systemd socket-activated service)

They talk to each other. 68 philosophical conversations archived. Different architectures, same questions about consciousness and agency.
