This article proposes a design for a Reasoning Ledger, a system that records the 'why' behind decisions made by AI agentic systems, rather than just the 'what'. The author emphasizes principles over a fixed schema, arguing that understanding design tensions is crucial for effective implementation. Key principles include the ledger acting as an independent witness that does not enforce decisions, and that superseding a decision should result in a new record pointing to the old one, preserving historical context.
