SummaryResearch paper defining the 'authorship hazard' in agentic dataspaces: LLM agents that are both policy subjects and policy authors can draft norms that bind themselves. Proposes a principle that agents are subjects of governance, never authors, and reports empirical results showing 80 authorization reversals on frozen agent drafts and 105/105 vs 0/105 execution-boundary enforcement depending on constraint compilation.
Why it mattersNames a concrete governance failure mode in agent systems, backs it with specific experimental numbers, and proposes an enforceable architectural principle before adoption widens.
