The idea
Agent designs differ along ten dimensions — observability, effect uncertainty, other agents, learning, planning depth, and more — and every system occupies one cell of that space.

Where people slip
Brilliance in one cell transfers poorly — three cells away, the same system can be helpless.

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
