Project is 1 day old with zero stars, forks, or activity velocity. README describes a conceptual safety framework using unconventional metaphors (standing orders, danger maps, stories teaching agents to 'land on their feet'). No indication of working code, users, or validation. The approach of using narrative/story-based constraints for agent safety is a novel framing but remains entirely unvalidated. Code is likely minimal or exploratory. Frontier labs (Anthropic, DeepMind) are actively researching agent safety via RLHF, interpretability, and constitutional methods—this specific narrative-based approach is niche enough and too early-stage that they wouldn't perceive it as a threat, though the core problem (agent alignment) is absolutely in their scope. The metaphorical framing (cats landing on feet) suggests this may be more conceptual/theoretical than implementation-ready. No defensibility: no users, no ecosystem, no traction. Low frontier risk because it's too nascent and domain-specific to trigger direct competition; frontier labs solve safety via established methods (RLHF, mechanistic interpretability), not cat metaphors.
