Please note that the majority of our efforts are contained on the "Discussion" page.
Problem Outline
- How do we define 'public' action? How do we monitor 'public' action without monitoring every action?
 - How can you make sure your agent is acting according to your instructions?
 - How can we ensure that information we receive through a third-party is legitimate?
 - How do I observe the acts of other agents, particularly public acts?
 - What CAN be observed?
 - How can contracts be made between computers/agents?
 - How can we ensure that contracts are being upheld?
 - What side effects does observance have? For example if everyone can see who buys something online, would that promote or demote using such website?
