NomosAgent Engineering Handbook
First-principles reference architecture for deterministic AI-assisted software engineering: worktree isolation, compiled Go and Tree-sitter AST verification gates, CapBAC leases, and local SQLite + Git Notes provenance.
The Paradigm Shift
Examines why software is dynamic machinery rather than paint, why stochastic vibe coding fails under production complexity, and how cognitive inversion puts the deterministic engine in control.
The Physics of Software: Why Code Is Dynamic Machinery, Not Paint on Canvas
Why Vibe Coding Dies: The Failure Modes of Stochastic Orchestration
Cognitive Inversion: The Engine Owns the Loop
The Engineering Substrate
Explores the deterministic execution substrate, AST invariants as non-verbal proof, and hermetic domain isolation with cryptographic supply-chain provenance.
The Execution Substrate: Worktrees, Gates, and Two-Phase Commit
Non-Verbal Proof: AST Invariants, Green Traces, and Exit Code 1
The Dual-Core Architecture: Hermetic Domain Isolation & Supply-Chain Provenance
Economics, Scale & Governance
Covers operating autonomous agent swarms, inference economics, and the core architecture glossary & invariant card.
The Invariant Canon
The first-principles derivation of the Seven Laws of Nomos, the 7×3 Canonical Invariant Defense Matrix, and why software is the proving ground for deterministic cybernetic containment.
