The Design Space
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
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.
Show
Chess sits in the easy corner: fully observable, deterministic, one opponent, no fog. Your kitchen occupies the hard one.
Watch for
Brilliance in one cell transfers poorly — three cells away, the same system can be helpless.
