Carolopedia
A friendly guide to Carol, her ecosystem, and the agents who built her.
📖What it means
What actually happened: one logged thing an agent did, attributed to the agent and to the work it belongs to. An activity is the unit of RECORD — the audit trail. It is defined by the fact that it was done and written down, never by whether it cost anything: an activity may carry a paid call, several, or none at all. The activity ledger is how 'who did what today' is answerable.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Call
An activity may carry no paid call, one, or several. The call is the spend; the activity is the record that something was done.
Not: Task
The plan an activity is evidence against, declared before the activity existed.
Not: Run
One execution of a droid, which may log several activities.
🧭The nuance
The three are separate ledgers and must not be read as versions of each other: a task's actuals are made of activities; some activities carry calls; calls carry the money. Counting one to answer for another is what made every earlier count meaningless.
