Systems & Architecture
Agents 3.0: Deep Agents Need Deep Memory
publishedAgents 2.0 fixed coordination. Agents 3.0 fix memory. A field-native architecture where memory is state, the system is the agent, and models operate inside laws—not prompts.
AI Without Memory Is Not Intelligence
publishedWhy 'just add RAG' is not the same as giving a system memory, and what real machine memory would actually require.
The Architecture of Trust in Teams
publishedA systems view of trust: how structure, feedback loops, and incentives either compound it or quietly destroy it.
