First Public Record of DIL (Distributed Intent Ledger), a global memory system for AI Agents & AI Assistants
This post is a public provenance record for the Distributed Intent Ledger (DIL) concept, by Jason B Ziegler Sr.
Published on February 28, 2026 on threeriversduckclub.com, this note establishes an early public provenance anchor before wider repository publication.
DIL is a local-first, filesystem-native protocol for durable agent memory and coordination, with Markdown-format files as the source of truth and human-auditable records.
Distinguishing characteristics:
- A shared memory sytem featuring machine and environment independence
- Agent and Assistant independence
- Global persistent memories and tasks for AI Agents, AI Assistants, and Human users working in shared environments
- Filesystem-as-bus transport, initially using Obsidian-synchronized vaults
- A VPN-defined collection of machines (Tailscale in the current deployment)
- A practical approach to persistent cross-machine agent memory from bare-metal through daily operation
Provenance notes:
- Domain: threeriversduckclub.com (public registration records indicate November 19, 2001; predates the modern web app universe of Twitter/X, GitHub and Facebook and other globally available sites).
- Application history evidence: TRiv OpenSeason database table
open_season_prod.seasonsincludes earliest season row2005-2006 Seasonwithbegin_date=2005-11-27. - DIL concept publication date on this domain: February 28, 2026.
- Canonical project label: Distributed Intent Ledger (DIL).

Domain-age evidence update (March 1, 2026):
1) OpenSeason database evidence (open_season_prod.seasons):
- Earliest season row is id=1, name=2005-2006 Season, begin_date=2005-11-27, end_date=2006-01-28.
- Next row is 2006-2007 Season with begin_date=2006-11-27.
- This confirms TRiv production data on this domain ecosystem has persisted at least since the 2005-2006 season.
2) Public registration records indicate threeriversduckclub.com registration date around 2001-11-19, which is consistent with the longstanding-domain claim and predates both Twitter/X (2006) and GitHub (2008).
