STATUS: In development | Part of the DIE Framework book manuscript
THE CORE CLAIM
The agentic loop is a new work primitive — as fundamental as
the meeting, the spreadsheet, or the email thread.
It is not a tool. It is a unit of work organisation.
Every loop has three components: a task, an evaluator,
and an iteration condition. When these three exist,
the loop can run without human intervention.
program.md is the governance layer of the loop.
Whoever controls program.md controls the research.
Whoever controls the fitness function controls the future.
