02 / SYSTEM DESIGN
Architecture for
accountable agents.
TESSEN proposes a modular pathway from user intent to verifiable outcomes. This is a product design direction, not a claim of a deployed protocol.
THE EXECUTION PIPELINE
Four distinct responsibilities.
01 / INPUT
Understand
Parse a request, its scope, and constraints.
→
02 / LOGIC
Plan
Organize proposed actions into a reviewable sequence.
→
03 / ACTION
Execute & Verify
Run approved steps and record their results.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Built for clarity.
A / PERMISSIONED
Explicit boundaries
Future agents should operate within clearly defined permissions rather than taking unrestricted action.
B / OBSERVABLE
Traceable decisions
Execution histories should show what was requested, attempted, and returned.
C / MODULAR
Composable connections
A flexible design for integrating tools and services without making one workflow depend on everything.
D / HUMAN-CENTERED
Control stays visible
Review and confirmation should be available for sensitive or irreversible operations.
