Agent System Design Constraints
Four constraints govern every AI agent system design decision — ontology, epistemology, taxonomy, and axiology. Remove one and the system drifts in a predictable direction.

Focus scarce attention on the bounded collisions and controllable levers that can create positive impact, then correct from observed evidence.
Diagnose how shared intention, strategy, capability, and evidence flow into value, then choose the coordination method for the weak leg.
Map what data exists, who controls it, how it compounds, which models learn from it, and what decisions or attention it directs.
Reusable concept note for Decision Fatigue.
Record what a decision knew, expected, authorized, and learned so later choices can use the precedent.
Use the Decision Optimisation Engine to turn potential into learned agency by connecting one human-owned decision to action, review, precedent, and a better-informed later choice.
