Teaser for the upcoming paper inspired by “Occurrence Theory: Where Physics is Born”
An algebraically forced Born-type probability
Syscalls for Agents: How microcontexts make agents cheaper, safer, and wiser — faster.
Agents need the same invention: an admission-controlled boundary between an untrusted interior and everything that matters. The unit that makes the boundary workable is the microcontext — the smallest independently addressed, typed, provenance-tagged piece of state an agent consumes or emits. Boundary, atom, and one further discipline about how atoms compose: that is the whole architecture.
Semantic Complete Mediation: Security at the Meaning Layer
The goal is to build systems in which semantic boundary crossings are visible, constrained, attributable, and governable.
Podcast Episode: Agents Are the Wrong Security Principal
Mara: That shift in framing is the whole architecture. The proposal is to replace the Agent as the unit of agency with something called a MUSE Act — Mutually Untrusting, Specific, and Ephemeral. Each Act independently asks whether its input is appropriate before proceeding.
Agentless Agentic Systems: How MUSE Acts Compose Wisely.
The usual abstraction for an AI system with initiative is the Agent. An Agent is given a name, a role, a model, memory, tools, credentials, permissions, perhaps a budget, and enough persistence to pursue a goal over time. This is convenient as a programming abstraction. It is a poor protection abstraction.
Mass General Gets GACI Digesting Context
A startup founder in a Patagonia vest jumps in. FOUNDER: The platform ingests institutional context and dynamically assigns operational authority based on observed outcomes. Nobody reacts. CEO: Fantastic. (beat) No idea what that means. Polite laughter.
The PATWU Protocol: MC³ as the Rite of ROTE Civilization
Like machine instructions, this instruction set remains tiny while the applications become unbounded. / Every institutional act becomes a typed MC³ program operating over a ROTE graph…
Pearls Now Supports RO-Crate via Open Package Assembly Language
OPAL (Open Package Assembly Language) is the RO-Crate profile used by Pearls for Package interoperability.
Introducing Pearls: Scaling Agent Memory from Local Repos to Distributed Knowledge Meshes
We didn't set out to replace Beads; we built Pearls because multi-agent systems hit a structural ceiling when forced into relational SQL engines running on local disk.
Attention Is All I “Have”
To "have" attention does not mean to own it, govern it, or possess it as an object. It means that whatever I experience is given through attention. I "have" a thought in the same sense that I "have" a sensation, memory, fear, or moment of clarity: it has become present to me.
