Whitepapers and design proposals

Practical, production-minded thinking on how to build and run AI agent systems safely. We publish the architecture, not just the conclusions, so engineers and platform teams can evaluate the ideas in full.

Whitepaper Agent Infrastructure Security

Agentic Linux Runtime

Version 0.1 draft 29 June 2026 20 min read

A reference architecture for running AI agents as first-class, policy-controlled Linux workloads. It composes systemd, Unix users, cgroups, namespaces, Landlock, seccomp, structured memory, MCP, A2A, human approvals, and audit logs into a practical foundation for safe agent swarms, with no new kernel required.
