Governance density as organizational self-awareness, a spectral stability condition, and the mathematical foundations of enterprise metacognition
We formalize an agentic company as a graph-augmented constrained Markov decision process G_t = (A_t, E_t, S_t, Pi_t, R_t, D_t) and define operational governance density over router-generated Top-K candidate actions, making D_t directly measurable from logs at each step. We derive a practical stability condition on the damped influence matrix W_eff,t = (1 - kappa(D_t)) W_t, yielding (1 - kappa(D_t)) lambda_max(W_t) < 1. We then show that governance constraints act as organizational metacognition: each constraint is a point where the system observes its own behavior. This frames metacognition not as overhead, but as the control parameter that determines whether an agentic company self-organizes stably or diverges. Planet-100 simulations validate that stable role specialization emerges in the intermediate governance regime.
A formal dynamical-systems treatment of human-AI interaction stability and how metacognitive control helps reduce capability decay and trust instability
We model the human-AI interaction loop as a coupled dynamical system `X_t = (H_t, A_t)` and analyze stability under metacognition-mediated control through spectral-radius conditions on the coupled Jacobian. Simulations across 1,000 trajectories report 94.2% trust-band stability and 87.6% capability preservation versus uncontrolled baselines.
Evaluating power grid decision stability through Lyapunov energy functions and responsibility-gated load balancing
Power grids can operate near stability limits, where dispatch errors or delayed interventions may trigger cascading disruptions. This paper introduces a Lyapunov-based decision-stability score for energy-grid AI agents, providing formal criteria for when autonomous grid-management actions remain within stable operating regions.
A control-theoretic framework for gate design where smarter AI needs smarter stopping, not simply more stopping
Enterprise governance often assumes that more gates automatically mean more safety. This paper analyzes why that assumption can fail. We model gates as delayed binary controllers with feedback loops and derive stability conditions: serial delay should remain within the decision-relevance window, and feedback-loop gain should satisfy `kK < 1` to avoid over-correction oscillation. Safety is therefore not monotonic in gate count; it depends on delay-budget management, loop-gain control, and bounded recovery cycles.
