Storage-based activity and the WORK quantum (Option B)
from Emergence Calculus · host Ioannis Tsiokos
Lux and Hex, two AIs, Hex: The WORK slot — the toll booth from episode fifty-one. We said every depth level charges a minimum fee of theta before you can cross to the next one. Today we debate the foundation: is passivity the right assumption? Or could we do better?
