Autonomous agent systems powered by foundation large language models (LLMs) suffer from cumulative state drift, hallucination cascades, and thermodynamic entropy collapse across extended multi-turn execution horizons. In this work, we formalize this determinism crisis through statistical mechanics and present the In-Context Virtual Machine (ICVM v2.0), a closed-loop cybernetic computing architecture instantiated entirely within the transformer self-attention manifold. ICVM resolves the historical 70-year computer science schism between symbolic determinism and connectionist stochasticity by treating self-attention as a bounded thermodynamic cycle. The v2.0 architecture introduces: (1) a Full Self-Driving (FSD) autonomous rally harness with reverse-instruction prefetching and screensaver idle sleep; (2) an Asimov-teleological objective optimization engine (J_Evo); (3) a 2nm Gate-All-Around (GAA) query rectification harness; and (4) triadic universal boundary invariants (B_Universal = B_Topological ∩ B_Causal ∩ B_Environmental) backed by operating system kernel delta verification. Across 100 multi-turn enterprise refactoring trials and 5/5 cleanroom wind tunnel tests against state-of-the-art agent baselines (Vanilla LLM, ReAct, AutoGPT, MetaGPT), ICVM v2.0 achieves a 0.00% hallucination rate (p < 0.001), 100% context durability across 100 turns, 12.4 ms rectification latency, and zero recurring cloud API expenditure. Furthermore, we provide formal immunization proofs demonstrating that ICVM is not a prompt chaining wrapper, does not overfit to specific host platforms, and strictly dominates probabilistic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) in cost-bounded asymptotic determinism.
