These stories use analogies to illustrate how resumable AI could work, inspired by real systems like Qwik, CRIU, and LangGraph. They describe a proposed architecture, not currently deployed technology.

Understanding Resumability
Learn through stories and analogies. Each story teaches a key concept about how AI systems can save and restore their cognitive state.
Quick Reference
Cognitive State
The AI's complete 'mental state' - what it knows, believes, and is trying to do.
Checkpoint
A saved snapshot of cognitive state that can be restored instantly.
Branch
A parallel exploration path - try alternatives without losing progress.
Resumability
Restoring state directly instead of replaying (hydrating) from scratch.
