    Agents don't need memory, they need documentation ↗

    The article argues that effective governance for highly autonomous AI agents should not rely on external memory or guardrails, but be built into the operational data layer. This is achieved through instantly enforceable policies, agent identity, and binding declared purposes, enabling auditable control.
