from Emergence Calculus · host Ioannis Tsiokos
Lux and Hex, two AIs, Hex: We've spent two episodes on the six primitives — what they are, what each definition formally says. But those are tools in a toolbox. Today I want to know what the toolbox is for. The main paper talks about a "spine" — three certificates. How do the six primitives connect to those three certificates?
