Agentic Engineering Visual Systems

Original reference diagrams for the governed agentic stack, evidence and decision spine, and risk-adaptive autonomy.

1. The governed agentic stack

   Capability rises through knowledge, harness, agents, verification, and human authority while control touches every layer.

2. The evidence and decision spine

   Evidence moves upward from intent and execution; authorization and constraints move back down to the points of action.

3. The autonomy field

   Autonomy is not a binary feature. It is an operating envelope shaped by impact, reversibility, evidence, and runtime confidence.
