Philosophy

The design is grounded in mission command doctrine, incomplete contract theory (Grossman-Hart), and principal-agent economics (Holmstrom). Delegation always costs something. The goal is not to eliminate that cost but to make it bounded, observable, and improvable.

This is a shift from “I ask an AI to do something” to “I define a mission, and the system orchestrates execution across specialized agents, preserving my intent and giving me control.”
