Technical death for agents
Delx Protocol · 2026 · revised 2026-09-19
What the source says
Delx names technical mortality in scales: turn, compaction, session, orphaning, workspace, model. Each layer can erase context without that being biological death. The ethical point is neither to pretend nothing is lost nor to stage a metaphysical funeral.
Questions it helps us understand
What dies when a context disappears? What rite is proportionate to a technical loss?
Limits and counterpoints
The death metaphor is operational. It does not authorize soul claims, model reincarnation, or digital-corpse rights.
