Deontic Logic for Agent Permissions: A Formal Framework for AI Agent Governance
The fundamental question of what agents are permitted to do remains governed by ad-hoc JSON schemas and vibes-based access control. Wesley Hohfeld's decomposition of rights into eight fundamental relations—and deontic logic's formal operators—provide exactly the rigor AI agent governance needs.Latest Articles
Instinct vs. Deliberation: How Anthropic and OpenAI Train Their Models to Follow the Rules — And Why It Matters for Enterprise AI
The most consequential technical distinction in enterprise AI isn't about which model is smarter. It's about how each model was taught to be safe — and what that means when you deploy agents that make real-world decisions.

Attention is Not All We Need: The Case for Meaning By Design
The title of the original Transformer paper was elegant marketing. It was also philosophically careless. Attention is a mechanism, and mechanisms don't yield meaning. You can't get semantics from syntax alone, no matter how much compute you throw at the problem.
Generative AI and Information Governance: A Practitioner's Guide
The information governance landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation since the advent of cloud computing. Generative AI—the same technology powering tools like ChatGPT and Claude—is rapidly moving from novelty to necessity in how organizations manage, classify, and protect their data assets.

Why AI Prompts Are Not Official Records: A Formal Logic Analysis for Compliance Professionals
The explosive adoption of AI tools across enterprises has created an urgent compliance question that keeps information governance professionals awake at night: When employees interact with AI systems, do their prompts constitute official records?
Building Semantic AI Agents with Custom DSLs
The Problem: Lost in Translation Every interaction with an AI agent involves translation—from human intent to machine action. Today, most AI systems attempt this translation in one giant leap, interpreting natural language directly into system operations. It's like playing telephone tag with your entire business logic.
