[ AI ][ AI_CULTURE ][ NOUN ]
The forecasted broader economic system of AI agents transacting, trading, and exchanging value directly with each other, distinct from a clone economy by covering general agent-to-agent commerce rather than the specific digital-clone/likeness market.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"The two agents settled the whole transaction between themselves, a small but real slice of the wider machine economy nobody watches closely yet."
LORE & ORIGIN
Forecasted term generalizing 'clone economy' into the full agent-to-agent commerce picture, once autonomous agents started plausibly needing to transact directly with other agents rather than only with humans.
