The Hardware Gate Between an AI Proposal and an Action
Intelligence Controlled presents ChronaGate, a proposed hardware-enforced authorization layer for agentic AI systems.
Field notes
The site describes a four-part control stack: PCR pauses and contextualizes a proposed action, Quadzistor turns the decision into four-state hardware logic, ChronaGate binds it to a typed egress channel, and TARTARUS contains the gate and governed equipment. Claimed enforcement examples include payment ceilings, egress allowlists, destructive-operation rules, physical setpoint bounds, and a human kill authority. Prototype #001 is presented as the target of a public red-team campaign scheduled for 1 October 2026.
