learning incentives

• mechanisms that reward neurons for creating valuable cyberlinks
• the core problem: knowledge creation is costly, but its benefits are collective
• without incentives, rational agents free-ride on others’ cyberlinks
• implementations
  • cybernet: subnet-level rewards for specialized learning tasks
  • karma-gated rewards: high-karma neurons earn more from link creation
  • focus as cost: every cyberlink costs focus, ensuring only intentional links enter the cybergraph
• the game design ensures the truth machine improves over time — the more neurons learn, the better cyberank gets
• see collective learning for the group-level dynamics
