Verbatim user prompts; assistant turns summarized with pointers to durable notes.
**User (verbatim, bead-opening prompt):** > start-bead agent-based-hubler-network > this bead is about treating the faceted beads as agents in agentscript semantics with 3 agents being turtles, links and patches. Plus the world context where ask happens at the global level > relate this bead to glass-bead-game where a game board is a world in agentscript semantics. > agent-beads will have optimized .mjs scripts responding to startup, setup, and step. as agentscript-webgpu is the birth-parent the .mjs will have webgpu and cpu-javascript as alternative facets. *(Context: arrived mid-work while finishing the `agentscript-webgpu` parent bead — cloning the AgentScript source and building the `agentscript-orama` skill.)* **Assistant (summary):** - Opened this bead as a **child of agentscript-webgpu** (`f4ef67b7`), GUID `d4b881f0-c320-4428-adac-7fa03941def4`. - Verified the citation targets (Hubler ecology note `874fce5b`, bead-duck-typing `d9dfa5e4`, orchestrator-as-global-`ask` `4c6470f9`, the Glass Bead Game framing in `beads.md`). - Wrote `notes/00-beads-as-agentscript-agents.md`: the mapping table (World=commons/Glass-Bead-Game board; Turtles=mobile agent-beads with hatch=bead-start / die=apoptosis; Patches=hosting-origins/docks holding stigmergic field state; Links=mounts/lineage/soft-constraint-links; global `ask`=the mayordomo), the lifecycle reconciliation (startup/setup/step ↔ init/setup/step/die), the dual-facet `.mjs` contract (WebGPU ⊕ CPU-JS, negotiated at startup), the Glass Bead Game reading, the Hubler self-reference (the network modeling itself), and 5 open questions. - Scaffolded the standard root files; registered the child in the parent's `bead-bind-startup.md` todo.
