Most of our automation is "Level 0"—fragile, linear scripts that break the moment a schema changes. As we move toward autonomous bots, we’re risking what I call "Security Cancer"—where agents pursue local goals at the expense of the company.
At 90PB/day scale, we implemented a strategic security engineering framework for Governed Agency. It’s based on complex systems theories. Instead of writing better scripts, we define the "Target Anatomy" (the healthy state of the network) and let agents innovate to reach it.
Key takeaways:
TOTE Loops: A new way to log for compliance.
Cognitive Light Cones: Managing blast radius by limiting what a bot can "see" and "think."
Bioelectric Telemetry: Using APIs as the shared reality for all security tools.

How are you all managing "Rogue Agency" in your automation today? Are you still managing scripts, or have you started managing "Goals"?
