Resonance
Understand Resonators, commitments, and Maple runtime for OpeniBank.
Resonance replaces stateless agents with Resonators that persist across time, carry identity, and take responsibility for consequences.
Meaning → Intent → Commitment → Consequence
- Meaning: Resonators accumulate context, identity, and policy state.
- Intent: LLMs propose what should happen, never touching money directly.
- Commitment: A Resonator evaluates the intent against policy, identity, and budget.
- Consequence: Only approved commitments result in escrow, settlement, and receipts.
Resonator vs AI agent
| Dimension | Generic AI agent | Resonator | | --- | --- | --- | | Identity | Ephemeral | Persistent | | State | Prompt-based | Continuity-preserved | | Execution | Direct | Commitment-gated | | Accountability | Weak | Verifiable | | Economic safety | Unsafe | Safe for money |
Built on Maple runtime
OpeniBank is Maple-compatible and uses the Maple Resonator runtime for commitment evaluation.
