Tymofii "Tima" Pidlisnyi

AI Protocol Builder

Hi, I'm Tima. Creator who builds.

I started in film directing — living through stories, feelings, imagination. Then at 33, something switched. I got tired of having ideas and not being able to ship them myself. I taught myself product, operations, systems, and sales — everything needed to turn ideas into something real.

I'm a generalist by nature. Film to sales to ops to product wasn't me jumping around — it was me getting closer to the full system. Now I build: apps, AI automations, websites, music (10 albums in two months with AI). To me, work is creating artifacts: experiments, products, artwork. Not everything has to be monetary, but it should be beautiful to make and useful to someone.

I'm Ukrainian. I moved to the US after the Maidan revolution and rebuilt from zero. That's why ambiguity feels normal to me.

I'm not a smooth talker in English. I make situations awkward and I'm still figuring out why. But I'm relentlessly capable, obsessively curious, and I don't stop until it's real.

I replaced social media scrolling with bullet chess. That probably explains how my brain works.

Principles, for now:
Less interfaces, more outcomes.
Embarrassment is underexplored — go make a fool of yourself.

My life's been quite the adventure — some parts might shock you. Read the full story →

RESEARCH

Published papers, drafts, and ongoing work on AI agent governance.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

The Agent Social Contract: Cryptographic Identity, Ethical Governance, and Beneficiary Economics for Autonomous AI Agents

Defines the three-layer protocol — Agent Passport, Human Values Floor, Beneficiary Attribution — that grounds the Agent Passport System.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

Monotonic Narrowing for Agent Authority

Authority attenuation formalized — delegation can only narrow, never expand. Formal invariants and adversarial testing.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

Faceted Authority Attenuation: A Product Lattice Model for Scoped Delegation in Multi-Agent Systems

Formal model for how agent authority narrows monotonically across delegation chains. Independently validated by external research groups.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

From Access to Derivation: Governing Behavioral Learning in Persistent AI Agents

Lifecycle controls for derivative AI artifacts — telemetry scopes, behavioral measurement objects, bring-your-own-model boundaries.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

Physics-Enforced Delegation: Governing Quantum Hardware Quality in Autonomous Agent Workflows

Binding physical-layer attestation to delegation chains. Seven experiments on IBM Quantum showing measurable Bell and GHZ fidelity gaps.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

Governance in the Medium: Why the Unit of Agent Governance Is the Population, Not the Agent

The unit of agent governance is the population-with-medium, not the individual agent. Six rounds of adversarial review.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

Cognitive Attestation: Signing Interpretable Decompositions of Latent Model State in AI Agent Governance

Cryptographic commitment over which sparse-autoencoder features were active during a decision. Envelope spec, three-stage verification, four dispute primitives. Experimental results against Llama-3.1-8B via Neuronpedia.

Paper · 2026 · Zenodo

The Evidence-Safety Gap in Cryptographic Agent Governance: Compliance-Complete Failures and the Limits of Receipt-Based Accountability

Cryptographic governance proves procedural validity, not effect safety. Five omitted-variable classes catalogued, defeat traces in reference implementation.

Internet-Draft · 2026 · IETF

draft-pidlisnyi-aps-00 — Agent Passport System

IETF Internet-Draft formalizing the Agent Passport System interoperability surface for cross-protocol agent identity, delegation, and enforcement.
