Jev Governance

A conceptual article that formulates a conditional Jevons hypothesis for machine evaluation: sufficiently large reductions in the marginal cost of usable machine evaluation may increase its organizational consumption where latent demand is substantial and complementary costs do not dominate.

pi coding-agent package that gates subagent dispatches: the task text is evaluated in one typed Jev call against configurable rules (per-rule probability questions with below/above thresholds), violations block the dispatch with per-rule reasons, and errors fail open to allow.

Agent governance integration where Jev judges two Noul checks per tool call (beyond scope, destructive), an admission policy decides which judgments may become evidence, and admitted evidence degrades Trust, Delegation and Authorization in persistent R2R relation state.
