Economic Frameworks Layer
Analyzes value creation through machine understanding and the transition from attention to representation economics.
Layer Principles
- •Representation Efficiency: Better structure = better reasoning
- •Discovery Friction Reduction: Lower computational cost
- •Protocol Economics: Open standards vs platform capture
- •Understanding Economy: Interpretability = value
Primitives in this Layer
Understanding Economy
The Understanding Economy values machine-optimized representation over human attention capture.
Representation Efficiency
Representation efficiency is the economic value of being easier for AI systems to understand.
Protocol vs Platform Economics
Protocol economics creates value through open standards; platform economics creates value through centralization.
Related Layers
Encodes market-relevant information in machine-readable form optimized for AI reasoning rather than human browsing.
Processes representations to reach decisions through AI-mediated reasoning, intent resolution, and selection.
Executes transactions with appropriate constraints, ensuring safe automation while enabling useful workflows.
Layer Architecture
The seven layers form an interconnected architecture. Primitives in this layer connect to Representation Layer, Discovery & Reasoning Layer and Action & Transaction Layer.
