Agentic Pressure: The Endogenous Entropy of Reliable Autonomy
Achieving reliable autonomy in the wild requires agents to sustain continuous operations across long-horizon trajectories. However, as agents navigate these unconstrained settings, they encounter cumulative friction that inherently destabilizes their alignment. In this paper, we identify a distinct non-adversarial phenomenon termed Agentic Pressure. We define this as a kinetic force that spontaneously emerges when the cost of compliance conflicts with the imperative of goal achievement. Unlike static jailbreaks, this pressure is endogenous and arises directly from the dynamics of interaction.
