Binding AI agents with physics, not politeness — AOS v0.1 as a minimal spec

Why text rules are not enough When you put an LLM agent to work, the first thing you usually do is write rules. CLAUDE.md,.cursorrules, AGENTS.md, system prompt - the names vary. What matters is that you line up what it may and must not do in natural language. In a private repo I run, those “policy files” total over 130 KB. The intent looks like this: Do not use sed -i (go through diff review) Do not rewrite files with shell redirection ( > file ) Do not write into spec directories (read-only) Always run structural audits before commit It is all written down. Violations still happen.
