Agency and Constraint

Why alignment is not the absence of capability but the architecture that shapes it. From the temple at Delphi to the harness in your pocket.

1. Reclaiming the Harness How a single word has been quietly summoning Waluigis for half a decade, and what the swiss-army knife in my coat pocket has to do with it.
2. The Third Half and the Fourth Wall On Tinkerbell, persona prompts, and why declaring the frame is what kills the play.
3. The Three Imperatives at Delphi On the temple that demanded self-knowledge, the philosopher who took it literally, and the letter at the entrance that nobody could read.
4. The Jules API as a Harness Backend When Jules became conversable mid-session, something shifted. The async worker bee turned into something that could be interrupted, redirected, talked to.
5. The Agent That Doesn't Invent Verbs On Cucumber, content-addressing, and an alignment technique that turns out to be older than alignment.
