@nwalker853I Built an Operating System Because I Don't Trust AI Agents to Follow the Rules
Third research paper published this year. This one goes all the way down to the operating system.
I've spent the last year developing a research program around a problem I believe will become increasingly important as autonomous AI systems move into enterprise production: Who actually controls what an AI agent is allowed to do—and how do we prove it?
My first paper, Agentropy, explored the theoretical foundations of autonomous agency.
My second, Git Ontic Trace (GOT), addressed verifiable computational causality and execution provenance.
Today I published the third: Odin OS, an experimental bare-metal RISC-V operating system that explores enforcing cryptographically authorized memory access at the processor boundary.
The initial prototype is implemented in Rust, with adversarial tests, formal verification artifacts, and reproducible evidence.
The commercial thesis behind this research is straightforward:
As AI agents gain the ability to execute transactions, modify infrastructure, and operate autonomously, enterprises will need more than guardrails, prompts, and audit logs.
They'll need infrastructure that can enforce authority and independently verify execution.
I'm building toward that infrastructure through Ravenhelm.
The research is public because I want the underlying claims tested, challenged, and improved.
I'm particularly interested in connecting with founders, investors, and technical leaders working on agent infrastructure, enterprise AI security, and verifiable autonomous systems.
