The Simulation Imperative: Why Your Security Agents Must ‘Hallucinate’ to Defend You

We treat AI 'hallucination' as a critical flaw, but control theory suggests it is a requirement for survival. New mathematical proofs demonstrate that no agent can be a general defender without an internal 'world model'—a way to simulate the future. Here is why the era of model-free security is over, and why your defense stack needs to learn how to imagine.
