THE SELF-ORGANIZING DATA STACK

Summary from the TLDR Data newsletter

Autonomous data platforms need stable logical assets, not fragile table-and-DAG definitions. This proposed architecture keeps consumer contracts and semantic definitions persistent while a runtime synthesizes, consolidates, verifies, and atomically rewires physical pipelines as needs change. Its strongest safeguard is independent verification against business invariants, plus escalation whenever meaning is ambiguous. Language models may draft changes, but cannot authorize them.
