Who decides what an agent treats as true? Nothing does, and that is the point. In every system that stays reliable, from a cell to an immune system to a market, correctness isn't assigned by a designer; it's selected. The parts hold competing variants, and an external pressure culls the wrong ones. A more capable part doesn't escape this. It just gets better at exploiting whatever pressure you actually applied.

You can't make the pressure random the way nature does, but you can design it: the goal, the loss, the verifier, the loop the agent runs inside. So stop dictating answers and start shaping the environment that selects them.

We introduce five design laws, each learned by building real-world agents and memory systems that had to stay honest under a pressure they couldn't game.
