# Pull the plug | Free Life AI Labs

A browser illustration of two searches, saved progress and recovery after interruption. No AI model is running in the example.

## The same task. The same rules.

One keeps what it learns. Let them explore, then cut the power.

## Try the interruption

Begin the two searches. They explore identical maps at the same speed. Cut the power to stop them, then return: one reads its saved map and position; the other starts again. Faint lines on the second map show its earlier run for comparison, but the search cannot use them.

Pause the searches or choose Advance by hand to control the pace. Try another map starts a different space with both searches on equal ground.

## What should carry on?

A lost connection. A restarted machine. Someone else taking over. The work already done still matters.

This small experiment makes one part visible: remembering where a system has been changes what it has to repeat. In real work, useful memory also needs to preserve decisions, unfinished tasks and what still needs checking.

### What is actually happening?

Two copies of the same search algorithm explore an identical map. There is no AI model running here. The movement, saved progress and recovery are computed in your browser.

The example demonstrates saved state, not human judgment, reliable AI reasoning or a production deployment.

### Your saved run

Starting the experiment saves its map, route and progress in this browser. The map and progress are not sent to us. Refresh the page to try a real return.

Forget this run clears the saved experiment. If browser storage is unavailable, you can try the interruption within the page, but the run cannot survive a refresh or leaving the page.

## Work that can continue.

Some work outlasts a session. Field records, unfinished tasks and workflows across tools need a way to continue when a device restarts or another person takes over.

We can build saved state, recovery checks and handover into the commissioned system, with people able to inspect what is being resumed.
