L-Zero: An ISA-Level Virtual Machine for AI Agent Code Generation with Semantic Drift Governance
Abstract
L-Zero (L-0) is a register-based virtual machine designed for AI code generation. It features a 56-instruction ISA, AOT compilation to C, a plugin architecture for database/HTTP/file operations, and an ISA-level semantic drift governance mechanism (LATCH/GUARD/TRAP/YIELD) for autonomous AI agents.
