Harness as an Asset: Enforcing Determinism via the Convergent AI Agent Framework (CAAF)

Tianbao Zhang

Abstract

Large Language Models produce a controllability gap in safety-critical engineering: even low rates of undetected constraint violations render a system undeployable. Current orchestration paradigms suffer from sycophantic compliance, context attention decay, and stochastic oscillation during self-correction. We introduce the Convergent AI Agent Framework (CAAF), which transitions agentic workflows from open-loop generation to closed-loop fail-safe determinism via three pillars: (1) Recursive Atom
