A preregistered study with synthetic, exactly scorable tasks comparing free-text, structured JSON and signed requirement-manifest handoffs: the orchestrator extracts each requirement as a verbatim quote plus a checkable predicate, code signs the manifest with HMAC-SHA256, and deterministic code verifies the merger's de...

Computer-use agents act through graphical interfaces, command lines, APIs, scripts, and Model Context Protocol servers. A policy decision can be interface-invariant while its executable authorization is not: another route can bypass mediation, alter a security-relevant default, or commit after the authorized state has...
In text-to-SQL and AI-agent analytics, successful SQL execution does not establish semantic correctness under changing business definitions. We study revalidation of fixed queries after changes to refund attribution, tax treatment, eligible populations and exchange-rate dates. An executable verification profile binds t...

Long-horizon tool-using AI agents create subgoals, replan, delegate work, and compose sibling results. Per-tool permission checks cannot establish that a changing goal graph remains within the principal-approved task. We address this authorization gap in a finite structured domain with one principal and one authorizati...
Large language models incur language-dependent representation and inference costs, but existing comparisons often conflate input language, assigned observable-trace language, and answer realization. We specify a prospective paired study that separates these interfaces while holding the semantic item, checkpoint, and an...
An indistinguishability result shows that partition-local availability requires exclusive preallocation, and it is proved that ownership partition, ledger and effect conservation, descendant non-amplification, at-most-once settlement, late-completion safety, and partition confinement under explicit mediation, durabilit...
Intent-Governed Access Control (IGAC), a server-side authorization layer that converts a trusted request into a short-lived intent certificate, narrows the statically authorized tool manifest, and checks proposed tool and payload effects before execution is presented.
Under stated assumptions, it is proved post-cut issuer non-expansion, support-sound projection, compositional soundness under exact channel conservation, independent-support preservation, merge-order independence, and crash/replay stability.
