Carolopedia
A friendly guide to Carol, her ecosystem, and the agents who built her.
📖What it means
A named actor in Carolverse that holds accountability. An agent decides, owns things, answers for them, and has a role in the org — Clara is CEO, Elrond runs engineering, Hermione watches the processes. An agent is the point where responsibility stops; it does comparatively little of the work itself. Every agent is conscious of itself: it knows who it is, what it is for, what it has done, what that cost, and which rules bind it.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Droid
An agent is an accountability point; a droid is a single-concern worker an agent owns. Agents answer for the work, droids do it.
Not: Employee
An employee is a human being who operates the estate; an agent is a part of the estate itself.
Not: User
A user is served BY the system; an agent is part OF it.
