Seams Showing: Deconstructionist Approach to AI Engineering
Explore a deconstructionist approach to AI engineering for reliable MTG rules adjudication. This talk details a layered system with explicit contracts, focusing on auditable, inspectable outputs over confident hallucinations.
Overview
AO is a governed AI pipeline for MTG rules adjudication. Instead of a chat loop, it’s a layered system where each stage — input, retrieval, semantic gating, and response — has an explicit contract and a single owner. The interface is built around a single animated spine element that reflects system state rather than a chat UI. Inference runs fully on-device.
