The work behind the architecture.

Public and external-release research from Oak & Sparrow and Joshua Johosky. Each entry states its evidence status and claim boundary so a working model, benchmark, mathematical result, and physical measurement are not treated as interchangeable.

Oak & Sparrow Gatekeeper

Deterministic Execution Control for Enterprise AI Agents

Status: BLUE / External Release 1.0

The current external Gatekeeper paper defines the deterministic execution-control boundary between probabilistic AI agents and consequential enterprise actions. It covers pre-execution authorization, versioned rules as code, GREEN/YELLOW/RED outcomes, capability-scoped execution, Safety Receipts, ProofVault, post-execution validation, deployment patterns, benchmark scope, and explicit non-claims.

The Architecture of Authority

How Humanity Removed the Friction Between Knowing and Acting

Status: Full-Manuscript External Edition v1.5-E

A historical-comparative systems study of administrative compression: the recurring drive to reduce the labor, latency, handoffs, and infrastructure between information and action. It separates computational friction from governance friction and asks how standing, delegation, purpose, jurisdiction, authorization, refusal, revocation, evidence, and accountable disposition survive to the point of commitment.

Building Phase One

The Research Architecture Required Before an Artificial Entity Can Safely Hold and Exercise Economic Agency

Status: v1.4

A reconstruction of the research prerequisites hidden inside the original SIP Phase 1 concept. It separates identity, knowledge, standing, rights, permission, operational authority, evidence, and execution, then argues that economic capability belongs at the end of a governed dependency chain rather than at the beginning.

Protected Dynamics, Quantum Thermal Governance, and Energy Systems

From Exact Reset Channels to Data-Center Energy, Quantum Cooling, and Falsifiable Fusion

Status: Exact model and executable benchmarks; physical validation open

Applies the GOI protected-transition discipline to systems where energy is spent, heat is deposited, state is reset, or a materials hypothesis can be falsified. It separates an exact finite-dimensional collision model from synthetic data-center benchmarks, quantum-cooling proposals, and fusion hypotheses.
