Governance Architecture

Closed Factory 2.0

Multi-Agent Blueprint for Next-Gen Models

Abstract

Closed Factory 2.0 treats AI not as a single autonomous agent but as a disciplined, three-agent studio with deterministic handoffs, explicit charters, and human-in-the-loop governance.

It introduces the Spec X governance layer — a set of behavioral tokens, conflict resolution rules, and escalation paths that keep each agent inside its lane while enabling powerful cross-agent collaboration.

Why Closed Factory?

As models become more capable, the temptation is to give them more freedom. We argue the opposite: more capability demands tighter governance.

The Closed Factory constrains agent scope, prevents self-modification, and routes all major decisions through the human operator. Autonomy is graduated — reactive by default, proactive only with operator alignment.

Immutable Behavioral Tokens

Prevent agents from drifting outside roles or rewriting their own charters.

Adaptive Autonomy Matrix

Defines when agents may act proactively vs. must pause and escalate.

Spec X Governance Layer

Conflict resolution rules, escalation paths, and guardrails for the triad.

Closed Factory Isolation

Agents never publish, execute, or access external systems without approval.
