The Governance Trilogy
One thesis across three scales: in the agent era, control is not a feeling — it is a boundary that holds. From a single household, to the enterprise, to the runtime that enforces it.
HearthOS
Bounded Authority at Home
Control at family scale: ten AI agents, one human approver, and the rule that nothing crosses from proposed to done without permission. A family-scale governance playbook.
Control Dissolved
Why Agent Systems Escape Their Boundaries
Why control erodes at enterprise scale — not through failure, but through success — and the decision architecture that holds it: corridors and gates, a four-outcome decision tree, and a ten-question red-team checklist you can run on any production agent.

Phionyx System
Deterministic AI, Observability, and Assurance
Turning the corridors and gates of the first two books into running software: a typed, multi-gate runtime with signed, replayable evidence.
From the books to the runtime
The trilogy makes the case in prose. Phionyx is the working system it points to — where policy, state transition, abstention, and replayable evidence become one inspectable record. AI output is not authority.
