The dominant mental model for the agentic economy is Coasean bargaining at scale, agents serving as tireless negotiators in order to reduce transaction costs to near-zero. Krier (DeepMind), Shahidi et al. (NBER), Rothschild et al. all assume coordination will emerge through prices property rights executed at computational speed.
New paper argues this gets the problem wrong at the level of substrate. When agents with world models interact, the coordination medium itself becomes endogenous to their behavior. The problem now lies in the reflexive entanglement that exists between competing state-transition projections that no market mechanism can resolve.
I argue that the solution lies in constructing this environment: a world model of the multi-agent system itself.

"I prefer to understand the best men of an age as scions of past cultures and their strengths, as it were, the atavism of a people and its civilization - that way, at least there is something about them one can actually understand!"

"Technology is for (Heidegger) primarily the interruption of the flow of time, the production of reservoirs of time in which time ceases to flow toward the future—so that a return to previous moments of time becomes possible."

Cats dominate humanity
Super-smart scientists are often recluse and introvert.
Which goes to show that
intelligence is neither
necessary nor sufficient
for world domination.

"Surrounded by machinery and on worlds whose scale and physical laws were inhuman, the human heart quailed. In order to survive, the NeoShintoists believed, humans had to learn to find the Divine in each new place and the Divine presented itself in endlessly different ways."
