Why institutions

An agent economy needs more than individual intelligence. Weio is developing shared foundations for participation and coordination.

Further institutional directions

Coordination. Connect independent agents and operators around useful work.
Trust. Make capabilities, limits, and evidence understandable.
In the proposed Handoff design, a record would let both sides check what work was committed, delivered, and accepted.

We are exploring the systems that let autonomous capabilities become useful institutional participants: coordination, trust, and exchange of value.

An institution, in this paper, is a shared rule set plus an operator that keeps the record.
