Chapter 4. The Architecture in One Picture
In this section
- Chapter 4. The Architecture in One PictureThe one picture this book uses for every AI Worker: six layers with one job each, which layers a company rents and which it must own, who wins when two layers disagree, the rule that splits governing a worker between three records, and why no machine needs to stay.
- 4.1 Six layers, six verbsThe six layers every AI Worker in this book is drawn with, the one job of each, and where the worker itself is in the picture.
- 4.2 KSoR knowsThe layer that holds what a company officially knows, kept as one approved record that people and workers both read.
- 4.3 Memory remembersWhat a worker should remember, which source wins when what it remembers disagrees with the record, and a test that shows whether anything is stored in the wrong place.
- 4.4 SSoR tracks where the work standsThe layer that keeps one governed case file for each piece of work, so a worker reads where the work stands instead of guessing, and how it differs from memory and DSoR.
- 4.5 DSoR actsThe layer between a worker and the company's real systems, the six checks it makes before any action, and how much of it exists today.
- 4.6 Rented above, owned belowWhich layers a company rents and which it must own, and a test that shows where each part of a worker really lives.
- 4.7 The governance ruleHow the three owned systems of record split one job between them, and how a written policy becomes a control that software can enforce.
- 4.8 The picture on today's toolsHow today's products and three open-source tools fill the layers, the two differences that matter for Brightline, and what stays the same.
- 4.9 Isn't the missing permanent machine a gap?Why the picture has no standing computer in it: every kind of continuity a permanent machine would give already has a governed home, and what that design costs.
- 4.10 What changes when others use the worker?What changes when a team or another company starts to use a worker, and what must carry across unchanged.
- Lab 4: what the worker is made ofChapter 4's lab: answer Dave's questions in your own words while the AI writes the page IT asked for, Brightline's AP Worker drawn as six layers, and after each layer move it to the other AI vendor from your page and replay the week against the new worker, each task checked against its own key.
