5.3BRAINROT SCOREAUTONOMOUS INTERNET— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Autonomous Internet The forecasted version of the internet where most traffic and transactions are agent-to-agent rather than human-initiated, distinct from an agent economy by describing the underlying network's traffic pattern rather than the value-exchange system running on top of it.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"If most traffic really became agent-to-agent, that's a genuinely different internet than the one built for humans clicking links."
AGENT ECONOMY— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE
Agent Economy The full informal system of agents transacting with, paying, or relying on other agents to get tasks done, treated as its own emerging economic layer rather than individual agent-to-agent interactions.
EXAMPLE USAGE
"The agent economy is already real, agents are quietly paying other agents' API costs to get subtasks done."
