This work introduces logos, a pluggable layer for self-evolution and governance that strengthens existing multiagent frameworks rather than replacing them, and provides a living logic for accountable automation.

Abstract

AI agents are evolving from answer engines into persistent teams that use tools, delegate work, learn from experience, and modify the artifacts that shape their future behavior. The defining question for deployment is no longer merely what agents can do, but who controls what they are allowed to become. We introduce logos, a pluggable layer for self-evolution and governance that strengthens existing multiagent frameworks rather than replacing them. logos compiles heterogeneous multimodal inputs, including documents, images, audio, tables, databases, APIs, and human instructions into versioned agent packs containing agents, tools, knowledge, tests, permissions, and policies. During operation, it transforms agent activity into portable, auditable event traces and applies fail-closed verification across frameworks and backends. Every learned prompt, memory, skill, tool, role, or workflow remains an untrusted release candidate until held-out execution evidence, human-controlled policy, and explicit authorization permit its promotion. This architecture enables"verifiable human-agent loop engineering": agents can act, ask, learn, and propose improvements, while humans can steer objectives, permissions, approvals, and irreversible actions without interrupting continuous operation. logos provides a living logic for accountable automation. Agents may evolve at machine speed, but only evidence and human authority can close the loop.

Five Primitives for Governing Autonomous AI Agents at Runtime

It is argued that governing such agents is a runtime problem -- not a model-alignment problem and not a build-time problem -- and five primitives are derived from the questions that must be answered before an action takes effect and after it has: discovery, identity, governance, attestation, and supply chain.

Agent Safety Should Be a Runtime Contract

The right unit of safety in agentic AI is the trajectory-with-checkable-evidence, not the model, and this work formalizes an Agent Trajectory Schema and Evidence Chain, state a compositional gating proposition based on standard monitor composition, and outline a research agenda.
