THE GSC SERIES: Control: The Final Three Mechanisms
See it. Prove it. Put it back, and confirm it held. The block that closes the loop. Ask three questions about an AI system you run in production. What is it doing right now? What did it do last Tuesday, who decided what to do about it, and who acted? If it went wrong this […]
THE GSC SERIES: GSC Assembled: Three, Two, Three
Eight mechanisms, one fabric, one seat. The whole structure in one view. GSC is easiest to understand one block at a time, and most useful all at once.
