Watching the agentic AI hype cycle unfold, one thing is becoming clear:

Systems built on stochastic execution and shared models scale surface area, not reliability.

They look impressive right up until coordination, accountability, and determinism actually matter.

By contrast, architectures that are:

explicit about state

deterministic in transitions

and verification-first by design

age very differently.

When the noise fades, some things start to look less like experiments

and more like diamonds formed under pressure.

Most of what’s shipping right now won’t fail loudly.

It will fail everywhere, quietly, and all at once.

That’s when rigor stops being “overengineering”

and starts being the only thing left standing.
