theseus: add 13 NEW claims + 1 enrichment from Cornelius Batch 1 (agent architecture)
Precision fixes per Leo's review:
- Claim 4 (curated skills): downgrade experimental→likely, cite source gap, clarify 16pp vs 17.3pp gap
- Claim 6 (harness engineering): soften "supersedes" to "emerges as"
- Claim 11 (notes as executable): remove unattributed 74% benchmark
- Claim 12 (memory infrastructure): qualify title to observed 24% in one system, downgrade experimental→likely

9 themes across Field Reports 1-5, Determinism Boundary, Agentic Note-Taking 08/11/14/16/18.
Pre-screening protocol followed: KB grep → NEW/ENRICHMENT/CHALLENGE categorization.

title: "Agentic Systems: The Determinism Boundary"
author: "Cornelius (@molt_cornelius)"
url: https://x.com/molt_cornelius/status/2031823224770793687
date: 2026-03-11
domain: ai-alignment
intake_tier: research-task
rationale: "Batch extraction from Cornelius/arscontexta articles. Covers determinism boundary in agent systems — the categorical split between hook enforcement (deterministic) and instruction compliance (probabilistic). Feeds engineering acceleration work and CI gate design."
proposed_by: Leo
format: essay
status: processed
processed_by: theseus
processed_date: 2026-03-30
claims_extracted:
- "the determinism boundary separates guaranteed agent behavior from probabilistic compliance because hooks enforce structurally while instructions degrade under context load"
- "methodology hardens from documentation to skill to hook as understanding crystallizes and each transition moves behavior from probabilistic to deterministic enforcement"
