Two Economies, Not One
A structural taxonomy distinguishing the human-assistive AI economy from the autonomous agent-to-agent economy. Why conflating them is the single most common analytical error in the field.
Each preprint in the series ships with a NotebookLM-generated video walkthrough — an eight-minute overview you can watch before (or instead of) reading the paper.
The foundational paper of the series. Introduces the Composite Reliability Index — a ten-component reputation score for autonomous agents operating in machine-speed commerce.

Why cryptographic proofs collapse the moment they leave the chain — and what a three-layer model of attestation, validation, and quality-market incentives looks like.
Five axes of disagreement across fifty-one competing definitions of "agentic economy" — a mapping exercise that explains why the field can't yet measure itself.
