Saturday Field Notes 002: The Governance Layer Everyone Skips
As AI systems become procedural and agentic, model-centered oversight becomes insufficient; governance must shift to trace-centered legibility with replayable decision evidence.
Reflections on AI governance, the In-Between Framework, and the relational dimensions of technology.
Featured topic
When AI gets a body, the In-Between stops being abstract. Embodied systems bring governance, trust, contestation, and relational meaning into shared physical space. This is not a robotics news feed. It is a focused inquiry into the hardest test case of the In-Between: what changes when AI can appear, move, and act among us.

As AI systems become procedural and agentic, model-centered oversight becomes insufficient; governance must shift to trace-centered legibility with replayable decision evidence.
In high-stakes AI, trust is no longer about model cleverness but about procedural traceability: provenance, auditability, and a defensible chain of decisions.
Trust is shifting from model capability to institutional trace: governance now depends on provenance, decision-chain legibility, and contestable procedures under drift and synthetic social signals.
