boundary

Check the prompt against the seven sufficiency conditions: falsifiable premises, a defined rejection genre, partitioned decision rights, evaluators attached to every constraint, verbatim context pointers, an amendment protocol, and discipline proportioned to walker capability. Then run adversarial review until zero grounded objections remain.

An Initial Boundary Condition (IBC) is the prompt contract that launches an agent run: the goal, constraints, and acceptance criteria. A sufficient IBC makes failure cheap and early by giving the agent verifiable premises and an explicit low-cost path to reject a bad frame.

The loop cycles DRAFT, ATTACK, REVISE, APPROVE, DISPATCH. Cheap-tier adversarial reviewers in isolated contexts raise objections that must cite a sufficiency condition and evidence; the loop converges when a sweep yields zero grounded objections, then a human approves dispatch.

Skip the loop for mechanical steps inside a frame the human already approved; per decision DG1, approval attaches to the agreed frame, not each IBC. The loop runs only where the goal is open, premises are unverified, or the walk could diverge from what was agreed.

Capable agents fail through confidently-wrong frames: they build large coherent structures on false premises without local error signals. The fix is premise verification before dispatch, using falsifiable claims and a comprehension probe that simulates the consumer with zero context.
