Foundational papers
The papers that anchor the site.
The website starts with foundational pieces on agentic AI adoption, the operating model for agentic teams, the boundary between directed and autonomous agents, and the tool-boundary architecture for containerized agents.
Read them in order for the full arc: adoption path, team shape, autonomy model, then technical architecture. Each one is a living white paper, maintained as agent research, protocols, and operating patterns evolve.
Reading path
Four living white papers, one argument.
Together, these papers trace the practical arc of agent-native work: adoption, team design, autonomy, and the tool boundaries that keep the system governable.
