+
+## Ground rules (please read)
+
+This project defines OS-level **governance** and **contracts** for probabilistic computation. It is not an “AGI” repo and it does not place LLMs in kernel space.
+
+### Non-negotiables
+
+- The control plane MUST be deterministic and auditable.
+- Models/workers MUST NOT receive ambient authority.
+- All tool execution MUST be capability-scoped and sandboxed.
+- Policies MUST live outside model weights.
+- Prefer small, composable primitives over monolithic designs.
+
+### What to contribute
+
+- Design docs with concrete invariants and failure modes.
+- Spec proposals for object model / syscalls (with versioning discipline).
+- OS mapping notes (FreeBSD and Linux).
+- Minimal prototypes that demonstrate enforcement boundaries.
+
+### What not to contribute (early)
+
+- “Put the model in the kernel” proposals.
+- Benchmark-driven complexity without a contract.
+- Unscoped tool execution paths.
+
+## Spec change process
+
+Specs in `spec/` are treated as contracts:
+- Breaking changes require an explicit note in the PR description.
+- Prefer additive changes.
+- Include an example flow in `examples/` when adding new primitives.
+
