Nathan McCauley ⚓(@nathanmccauley):The idea in this paper I find most clarifying: an agent without a bank account is an advisor. An agent with one is an economic actor. Everything else follows from that line, segmented accounts, spending limits, verified merchants, a human attached to the liability. Intelligence gets an agent to a decision. Rails let it act on one.
