Operationalizing Reconstructive Authority: Runtime Construction, Dependency Resolution, and Execution Gating in Autonomous Agent Systems
The paper discusses the concept of Reconstructive Authority in autonomous agent systems, focusing on how to enforce authority at runtime. It introduces a new execution model that evaluates authority during action execution and includes a mechanism for handling uncertain authority. The proposed model aims to ensure safety and conditional liveness in decision-making processes within these systems.
- ▪Autonomous agent systems can fail due to executing decisions without valid authority at runtime.
- ▪The paper presents a runtime execution model that evaluates authority at the time of action.
- ▪A Recovery Loop is introduced to manage execution control and information acquisition.
