Expanding on programmable economies, this piece examines the necessary limits for AI autonomy. It details different layers of policy - from inviolable transaction ceilings to hard-coded pauses on certain behaviors - and the challenge of building ethics into agent code. We assess technical mechanisms (like circuit breakers), human-in-the-loop designs, legal policy overlays, and philosophical tradeoffs. Should agents pause for supervision before high-value, irreversible actions? Where does autonomy end and accountability begin? These questions are considered side-by-side with Tsuka’s core tenet: that the highest form of sovereignty is not just permissionless action, but responsible, self-aware constraint.
