1 Portable Memory portable-memory How does an agent keep, prove, and safely transfer learned behavior? This thread traces the arc from early memory-market concepts through IMPP protocol design to behavioral supply chain thinking. How does an agent keep, prove, and safely transfer learned behavior? 1
2 Exit Rights exit-rights How does a user leave a system without losing identity, value, or memory? This thread follows the portability argument from protocol design through sovereign agent markets to interface implications. How does a user leave a system without losing identity, value, or memory? 2
3 Distributed Agency distributed-agency What interface forms are appropriate when agency is distributed across humans, models, and protocols? This thread examines how design changes when the user is sometimes a person, sometimes a model, sometimes both. What interface forms are appropriate when agency is distributed across humans, models, and protocols? 3
4 Trust as Design Material trust-as-design How do you make trust visible, verifiable, and designable? This thread follows the attestation concept from abstract surface to practical application across creative provenance, human credentials, and failure records. How does an agent keep, prove, and safely transfer learned behavior? 4
5 The Quieter Interface quieter-interface What does software look like when it stops competing for your attention? This thread traces the argument from terminal aesthetics through design systems to the philosophical case for interfaces that refuse. What interface forms are appropriate when agency is distributed across humans, models, and protocols? 5
6 Carbon-Aware Compute carbon-aware-compute The same model call costs 10x more carbon depending on where and when you run it. This thread follows the CarbonBench research from measurement to arbitrage to invisible externalities.   6
7 Machine-Readable Everything machine-readable When agents read your brand, your regulation, your design system, and your portfolio, what needs to change? This thread follows the machine-readability argument from design systems to brand voice to law. What interface forms are appropriate when agency is distributed across humans, models, and protocols? 7
8 The Agent Economy agent-economy What does an economy look like when the participants are agents? This thread traces the market structure from the lemons problem through niche monopolies to payment infrastructure. How does a user leave a system without losing identity, value, or memory? 8
9 Epistemic Horror epistemic-horror What happens when knowing is worse than not knowing? This thread follows the epistemic horror concept from methodology to game design to the real book underground.   9
10 Representation Before Generation representation-before-generation Why models, agents, and designers must build world models before producing output. The epistemological foundation of the research program. 3 0
11 Sovereignty as Design sovereignty-as-design Parallel institutions, exit rights, and architecture that protects rather than extracts. The political philosophy beneath the protocol work. 2 0
12 Knowledge as Material knowledge-as-material What happens when knowledge is treated as transferable artifact, game mechanic, and architectural question rather than content. 1 0
