From Admission to Invariants: Measuring Deviation in Delegated Agent Systems

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.17517v1 Announce Type: new Autonomous agent systems are governed by enforcement mechanisms that flag hard constraint violations at runtime. The Agent Control Protocol identifies a structural limit of such systems: a correctly-functioning enforcement engine can enter a regime in which behavioral drift is invisible to it, because the enforcement signal operates below the layer where deviation is measurable.
