Healthcare runs on data. But the way we handle that data is broken. Every BAA and SOC 2 certificate only proves you had a policy — not that it was enforced at runtime. pap:// replaces assumed trust with cryptographic proof.
Every agent framework treats every step the same way: send it to an LLM. You end up paying inference cost and latency for work a fifty-line function would do faster, cheaper, and deterministically. That's not a tooling gap — it's a missing primitive.
PAP ships eight agents that will never make an inference call. Not because they're simple, but because they don't need one. The work is structural: typed input goes in, a different typed shape comes out, deterministically, every time.
In March I argued that the token economy is long distance minutes. That the infrastructure shift was coming and the metering model would become indefensible the same way per-minute billing did once…
We open-sourced the AWS AI Agent Bus. People use it. We used it. We get messages from teams running it and need help. This is a honest post about it all, and what we learned. The Part That Worked The…
The word "agent" did not come from AI. It came from law. A principal authorizes an agent to act on their behalf. The agent's acts bind the principal. The principal is liable for what the agent does…
The first post introduced the Principal Agent Protocol and walked through the proof-of-concept examples. The protocol primitives work. The question that matters now: what would you actually build…
Every agent-to-agent protocol currently in development was designed to serve platform operators, not human principals. A2A authenticates agents as platform entities. ACP focuses on enterprise…
AI vendors are selling token economies the way telcos sold long distance minutes. Right before the infrastructure made the metering model indefensible. Here’s what comes after it. --- That pattern…
Open up Claude Code on a new project and start prompting. It'll work. You'll get code, suggestions, refactors. But watch closely and you'll notice something: Claude is making assumptions everywhere.…
