Reality Pack #001: A Battery for AI Agents
An open twelve-month experiment asking whether an AI agent can understand a real battery well enough to refuse actions it is not allowed to take.
Field notes
The project treats a battery as more than a technical object: its proposed description also records the surrounding manufacturer, grid, regulatory, market, and ownership constraints. The planned test is deliberately narrow—an agent unfamiliar with batteries should be refused when it proposes an impermissible action, with the refusal tied to a checkable source. The page currently identifies no schema, runtime, or users, making this an early architectural experiment rather than a demonstrated operating system.
