  • Classification as InfrastructurePosition Paper

    SAGEN's blackboard is itself a classification system: it categorizes agent state into six module types. The position paper argues this is not incidental.

  • LLM-QPSystem

    Two missing infrastructure layers. SAGEN builds awareness; LLM-QP builds cost-efficiency. Both are classification systems.

  • The Beautiful UnfinishedEssay

    SAGEN addresses the gap between generating and knowing. The Beautiful Unfinished argues that gap is permanent.
