Coordination infrastructure
When someone needs care from multiple people — clinicians, family members, social workers, professionals — each holds a different fragment. Nobody holds the whole.
SameGround produces a single shared record that everyone derives their actions from. Confirmed by a named human reviewer before it influences any decision. Reviewed automatically when it is going out of date.
"The person at the centre is not coordinated around. They are coordinated with."
A structured intake produces an immutable State document — versioned, traceable, and derived from a single confirmed source. Every agent works from the same picture.
No State influences any decision without a named human reviewer confirming it reflects reality. The gate is constitutive — enforced at the architecture level, not advisory.
Every State has a decay rate derived from the trajectory of the situation. Review is triggered automatically. A record with no expiry date is a false prior in waiting.
Explore
The coordination platform. Healthcare domains live now — from family care to palliative care, emergency to child health. Each domain applies the same architecture to a specific context.
Four papers on the attending concept, the locked state, slow drift in AI governance, and prehistoric coordination structures. Independent research across philosophy of mind, AI safety, and archaeology.
The World That Heard Again — a four-book quartet and feature screenplay. Prestige action-adventure asking whether the attempt matters even without a guarantee of outcome.
Independent researcher, full-time carer, former IT professional. The attending concept runs through everything built here — healthcare, AI governance, fiction, film.
The pattern
The Hippocratic medical record — encoded approximately 400 BCE — requires that before any intervention begins, a practitioner establishes a shared record: the presenting condition, the history, the prognosis, the treatment plan, the constraints. The record precedes intervention. It is maintained across every practitioner who subsequently touches the patient.
The same pattern was independently rediscovered in 2026 in an AI production pipeline — without knowledge of the prior. Convergent independent discovery across unrelated domains separated by 2,400 years is evidence that the pattern is structural: it emerges from the logic of coordination failure itself.
SameGround is the architectural implementation of that pattern — deployable at scale, in the domains where coordination failures are currently causing the most preventable harm.
The person behind this
C. J. Agass is an independent researcher, full-time carer, and former IT professional based in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. The attending concept — the ongoing activity by which an agent monitors whether a record continues to match the evolving situation it represents — runs through everything built here: healthcare coordination, AI governance, literary fiction, and feature film. SameGround is that concept made operational.
