Recursive Language Models Prove the Case for Governed AI Orchestration
MIT built the engine. The question now is who drives. This analysis is written for people designing, deploying, or governing reasoning systems, not just studying them.

They are measuring unstructured prompt in, answer out workflows that ask nothing of the user beyond consumption. By “governance” I mean structured interaction protocols that […]
