The Harmonic Theory of Agentic Systems
English · Second Edition
The work continues. The context shouldn’t disappear. Keep goals, decisions and evidence connected across AI sessions, with illustrated cases and a seven-record field workbook.
When every component works, why does the system fail? Explore memory, attention and handoffs through neuroscience-inspired questions, worked diagnostics and practical exercises—with clear limits on the brain analogy.
The machine can answer. Who takes responsibility? Explore judgment, authorship and accountability in human–AI work, with three fictional cases and ten conceptual illustrations.
Pack a pencil. The machines have habits worth observing. Meet nineteen imagined creatures that make AI easier to examine, with illustrated field notes and paper-based exercises for curious readers fourteen and up.
Your system runs. What is it actually doing? Diagnose AI workflows through five bounded chemistry comparisons, with worked cases, diagrams and practical audit tools.
An infinite hotel. A very finite memory. Explore memory, handoffs and finite capacity through the hotel metaphor, with worked cases and practical exercises.
Begin with your phone. Follow the physics. Explore quantum ideas, then test what their analogies can—and cannot—tell us about AI, with worked examples, figures and practical exercises.
