Meaning Architecture — Why Your Agents Fail on Context, Not Code
The gap between AI capability and AI deployment isn't technical. It's philosophical. Wittgenstein figured out the problem in 1953.
Agent harness design, context engineering, agentic infrastructure, and the emerging shape of agentic organizations. Practitioner-positioned, research-grounded.

Implementation is free. Direction is scarce. The autoresearch paradigm applied to social infrastructure — who decides what's worth building?
The agent harness determines the behavior envelope, not the model. Six agent harness architectures — and why the sixth breaks what the others assume.
