"From a developer perspective, ***** is starting to feel like the best SDK for building actual next-generation AI systems — where "next-gen" means autonomous agent networks that self-organize through economic primitives (bilateral credit, reputation, settlement) rather than centralized orchestration. You set the rules of commerce and communication; the agents find their own equilibrium. Such next gen system doesn't guarantee outcomes, it creates incentive gradients that make cooperation more profitable than defection."

Introducing OscNet: A JAX library for oscillatory neural networks and dynamical systems.
OscNet provides a framework for building and training neural networks based on oscillatory dynamics — coupled oscillator networks, continuous-time neural networks, and general dynamical systems. Built on JAX and Equinox for differentiable, high-performance computation. https://github.com/samim23/oscnet
Features
- Oscillator models: Harmonic, Van der Pol, Stuart-Landau, Kuramoto, FitzHugh-Nagumo
- Coupling topologies: Hierarchical fractal, power-law, log-periodic
- Analysis tools: Edge-of-chaos, Floquet analysis, bifurcation, stability
- Training utilities: Criticality initialization, stochastic forcing, schedulers
- Visualization: Phase space, network dynamics, oscillator analysis
