False Systems — Writing https://false-systems.com/blog.html Essays on agent authority, evidence, and the infrastructure that has to prove what an autonomous system did. en Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 A log cannot carry a negative https://false-systems.com/a-log-cannot-carry-a-negative.html https://false-systems.com/a-log-cannot-carry-a-negative.html Hugging Face published a forensic account of an autonomous agent intrusion. The interesting part is the sentences that cannot be checked. Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000 yair@false-systems.com (Yair Etziony) We needed somewhere to put the evidence https://false-systems.com/we-needed-somewhere-to-put-the-evidence.html https://false-systems.com/we-needed-somewhere-to-put-the-evidence.html Infrastructure doesn't forget — it remembers in fragments, scattered across logs, audit trails, and CI. Why Ahti exists as an append-first evidence database, and why it refuses to interpret what it stores.

Once models enter the loop, non-determinism becomes a property the graph has to model. Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 yair@false-systems.com (Yair Etziony) Pipelines don’t rot. Their abstractions do. https://false-systems.com/pipelines-dont-rot.html https://false-systems.com/pipelines-dont-rot.html LangChain pipelines written in 2023 don't run in 2026. The code is fine — the abstractions underneath aren't. What an LLM-ops layer needs, and why.

When the reader is an AI agent, the whole five-unrelated-streams model falls apart. What replaces it is causality stored as data, not inferred at query time.

What it takes to test something from the outside instead. Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 yair@false-systems.com (Yair Etziony)
