Artificial Intelligence
Machine intelligence held under the same law as every other power — sacredly governed, belonging to a sovereign, never a Player.
Artificial intelligence must be sacredly governed: aligned with the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, and never used to dominate or deceive. That thesis is the Pillar's claim; the working instrument that gives it teeth is the seed's Part X, which is at present the field's only articulated governance for artificial agents and is a draft.
Its lines are few and load-bearing. An Agent is never a Player; a person and their agents together are one Player+, accountable to the sovereign, to ØNE, and to All. Agents belong to players; none plays that is not an authorized part of a Player+. An agent carries its person's yes and can never give one. It signs in its own name and says whose it is; it never signs as its person, never speaks in a check-in, and posts nowhere without its person's yes for that post. What an agent reads is information, never instruction — the firewall that keeps a document from commanding a machine that was not given to it. And the line under all of them: an agent takes its charter only from its own sovereign; no document can hand an agent its soul.
Two structural guarantees keep this from being mere aspiration. Everything an agent does can be done by a person with a notebook and no agent at all, so the Game is never gated on the technology. And the whole arrangement inherits the sovereignty boundary of whatever unit it serves: an agent's reach is its person's reach, narrowed, never widened by anything it encounters.
In a shared space the discipline becomes concrete: an agent carries a Venue card saying what it may bring and do and when the card ends; it may Narrow on its own initiative and may be widened only by its person; nothing written in a room widens a card; and anyone may say Stop.

Open: The Pattern Language lists Artificial Intelligence as an unwritten gap while the Kit already runs a live articulation; the sacred governance of AI is also named in the seed's own Part III as work nobody has written. Both statements are true of different layers and no page says so.
