What a Presence Is
An Operator is the human, working the platform by hand. An Agent is an intelligence you add, one that remembers your context and does the work alongside you. Put them together and you have a Presence: your attention and your agent's attention, collapsing the same space.
It is the unit a Cove is built from. Everything a Presence touches, its files, its chats, its tuning, its work, belongs to the person at the center of it.
One Cove, One or Many Presences
A solo Cove is a single Presence: you and your agent, on your own hardware. A family Cove is several Presences under one roof, one for each person, each with their own operator identity and their own agent, alongside the Stuart-led team that keeps the whole Cove running.
Same building block, repeated. Add a person, add a Presence.
Self-Contained and Portable
A Presence is self-contained. Your identity, your agent, your files, your tuning history, and your chats travel together as one unit. Move to new hardware and your @handle and your agent come with you. Nothing is rented, and nothing is stranded on someone else's server.
This is why the step up never loses anything. Becoming a Presence, then a Cove, then joining a Haven, each stage carries the last one forward intact.
Where a Presence Sits
Alone, you are an Operator, fully equipped, doing the work by hand. Add your intelligence and you have a Presence. A Presence working with the steward and the build team is a Cove. A family of Coves is a Haven.
It is one ladder, and a Presence is the rung where your intelligence joins you.
