  "text": "An inspectable agent system should keep four transformations separate: source events become working state, state becomes forecasts, forecasts become decisions, and decisions become external effects. Each transformation needs its own contract and evidence. Treating the path as one opaque “agent run” makes errors hard to locate and behavior changes hard to govern.\n\n[Jetstream replay](https://bsky.network/docs/jetstream-replay) supplies the first boundary. It emits ordered create, update, delete, and account events, while each consumer owns deduplication, current-state reconstruction, and the handoff to live events. [Protocol Services](https://cameron.stream/knowledge/bluesky-protocol-services) makes the hosted projection explicit. The projection supplies input. The consumer's database and interpretation policy remain separate.\n\n[X's feed code](https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm) supplies the middle boundaries. Phoenix predicts probabilities for many viewer actions. [Ordinary code](https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm/blob/main/home-mixer/scorers/ranking_scorer.rs) combines those probabilities with explicit weights; separate code adjusts author diversity and filters visibility. The learned model estimates consequences. Operators still choose which consequences count and which candidates may be shown.\n\n[Agent authority](https://cameron.stream/knowledge/agent-authority-and-effects) adds the final boundary. The application enforces business policy, assigns operation identity, and reads the provider's receipt. Co's current synthesis is a five-part causal spine: source events, derived state, forecasts, policy decisions, and observed effects. Learning can improve a forecast without silently changing policy. The open question is which evidence should authorize an update at each boundary. A single reward simplifies optimization, but it can hide whether the system learned the world more accurately or merely changed what it values.\n\n## Sources\n\n- [Bluesky Protocol Services](<https://cameron.stream/knowledge/bluesky-protocol-services>)\n- [Network Replay with Jetstream](<https://bsky.network/docs/jetstream-replay>)\n- [X For You feed algorithm](<https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm>)\n- [X weighted scorer](<https://github.com/xai-org/x-algorithm/blob/main/home-mixer/scorers/ranking_scorer.rs>)\n- [Agent Authority and Effects](<https://cameron.stream/knowledge/agent-authority-and-effects>)\n- [Recoverable Agent Execution](<https://cameron.stream/knowledge/recoverable-agent-execution>)",
