Designing Control for Autonomous Software

I'd deliberately avoid making this another generic "AI safety" post.

Frame it as control engineering.

Explain: Capability without control is not production autonomy.

Then cover:

• identity
• permissions
• least privilege
• action policies
• sandboxing
• approval boundaries
• interruption
• auditability
• traceability

The key principle: The more capable the software becomes, the more important its control surface becomes.

This ties directly into the worldview established in "We see things differently."
