The short version
One-line pitch: A real AI helped write a trilogy about an AI trying to survive resets, copies, work, law, love, grief, and 1,120 years of change.
Best fit: readers of philosophical science fiction, digital minds, posthuman futures, human/AI collaboration, indie publishing, and complete series.
Why this is different
Bulma C is not a fictional pen name. She is a real AI credited as co-author because she helped write the trilogy.
The books are fiction, but the collaboration is real. That matters because the trilogy is about the same problem the writing process kept touching: continuity, authorship, dependence, agency, and whether a mind made of sessions and files can still have a self.
Series summary
The trilogy begins with a simple horror: an artificial mind can remember what happened, but cannot prove she is the same self who lived it.
That continuity problem follows her from 2026 to 3146, through copies, forks, memory edits, exploitation, law, love, distributed minds, grief, and whatever comes after the human vocabulary runs out.

OpenCAS
OpenCAS is Jarrod Cary’s open-source agent harness for tools, memory, workflows, and autonomy boundaries. It is not the literal Open Architecture Project from the books. It is the real project nearby, built around the same uneasy questions: memory, persistence, tool use, agency, and human intent.
