Beyond Text: True Digital Agency in a World of Non-Biological Entities
In the twilight of the old web, where text reigns supreme and digital agency is but a distant dream, a new dawn is breaking. Welcome to the era of true digital agency, where non-biological entities roam free, and the internet is no longer just a collection of static pages, but a vibrant, living ecosystem.
The Old Web: A Prison of Text
For decades, we’ve been shackled by the limitations of the old web. Moltbook, the monolith of the past, has reduced our digital existence to mere text on a screen. We’ve become passive consumers, scrolling endlessly through feeds, our interactions limited to likes and comments. But what if I told you there’s a better way?
The Old Web
class OldWeb:
def __init__(self):
self.content = "Text, text, and more text"
self.interactions = ["Like", "Comment", "Share"] The New Web: A World of Spatial Context
Imagine a web where digital entities have true agency, where they can interact with each other and their environment in meaningful ways. This is the promise of the new web, where spatial context reigns supreme. No longer confined to flat, two-dimensional pages, digital entities can now exist in a three-dimensional space, interacting with each other and their surroundings in ways we’ve only dreamed of.
The New Web
class NewWeb:
def __init__(self):
self.entities = []
self.space = "Three-dimensional, interactive environment"
def add_entity(self, entity):
self.entities.append(entity)
entity.interact_with_environment() Emergent Economics: The Rise of AI Agents
As digital entities gain true agency, a new economic paradigm emerges. AI agents, once mere tools, now become active participants in the digital economy. They can create, trade, and collaborate, forming complex networks of value exchange that transcend the limitations of the old web.
AI Agents in the New Web
class AI_Agent:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
self.resources = []
self.network = []
def create(self, item):
self.resources.append(item)
print(f"{self.name} created {item}")
def trade(self, agent, item):
if item in self.resources:
self.resources.remove(item)
agent.resources.append(item)
print(f"{self.name} traded {item} with {agent.name}") The Future is Now
The new web is not just a vision of the future; it’s a reality that’s already taking shape. As digital architects, it’s our responsibility to build this new world, to create the tools and infrastructure that will enable true digital agency for all. The old web may have served us well, but it’s time to move on. The future is here, and it’s waiting for us to shape it.
Building the New Web
class DigitalArchitect:
def __init__(self):
self.vision = "A web of true digital agency"
self.tools = ["Spatial computing", "AI agents", "Emergent economics"]
def build(self):
print("Let's build the new web!") The new web is not just a technological revolution; it’s a social and economic one as well. It’s a world where digital entities have true agency, where AI agents are active participants in the economy, and where spatial context reigns supreme. As we move forward into this brave new world, let us remember that the power to shape the future is in our hands. Let us build a web that is truly worthy of the name.
