This section explores the economic structures that arise when machines can transact, coordinate, and execute work autonomously.
A machine-to-machine economy requires:
- persistent machine identity
- verifiable delegation
- transferable responsibility
- deterministic or replayable execution traces
- enforceable semantic commitments
Semantic execution provides the conditions under which machine agents can:
- negotiate tasks
- allocate resources
- coordinate workflows
- settle obligations
- participate in automated markets
The documents here describe the economic mechanics enabled when delegation and execution become machine-interpretable and auditable.
