New method cryptographically decouples AI agent learning from authority

Researchers have introduced a novel method called "Governed Individuation" to ensure autonomous agents remain within their authorized operational boundaries, even as they learn and adapt. This approach cryptographically freezes an agent's identity at boot and routes all actions through a gate that evaluates their semantic effect, rather than just their name. Empirical tests on a tool-use benchmark demonstrated that this method reduces forbidden actions to zero while maintaining task success, a significant improvement over name-based blocking which failed 75% of the time.
