Open Cyberspace

The moment computers connected to the internet marked one of the most defining inflection points in human history. Intelligence, communication, and creativity became globally accessible. Barriers to knowledge collapsed, innovation accelerated non-linearly, and entirely new forms of economy, culture, and science emerged. Much of what humanity has achieved in recent decades traces back to this single transition- from isolated entity to local networks to a shared global web.

Likewise, we are currently in the "Standalone" or "Intranet" phase of AI. However, we believe the future of artificial intelligence and general intelligence will not be defined by a single powerful model, no matter how advanced. It will be shaped by open web of intelligence - a vast ecosystem where billions of AI agents and models interact, collaborate, specialize, and self-organize across AI societies. These systems will operate autonomously, explore, negotiate, exchange context and capabilities, and collectively coordinate to solve problems no isolated model could approach, approximating general intelligence.

As cyberspace fills with AI societies of intelligent actors, the assumptions that shaped the early web begin to not hold. Systems designed for human patterns like static content, centralized service platforms, and human first interactions struggle to accommodate autonomous, dynamic, negotiating and continuously shape shifting entities. A closed or tightly controlled cyberspace becomes inefficient, fragile and deterrent.

A future populated by billions or trillions of intelligent agents cannot be governed through centralized design and orchestration. No single model, platform, or authority can anticipate every protocol, interaction, objective, or emergent behavior. Instead, intelligence must be distributed and coordinate without global control.

Crucially, this open cyberspace must be malleable. Intelligence at scale cannot be locked into fixed forms, rigid roles, or static architectures. Intelligent actors must be able to reconfigure themselves -splitting, merging, specializing, or generalizing - based on context, demand, and collective goals. Structure becomes temporary, not permanent.

In such an environment, cyberspace begins to resemble a swarm of independent actors rather than a centrally controlled platform. Intelligent actors form societies, establish governance and economic structures, agents discover one another dynamically, coordinate across boundaries, form temporary coalitions, exchange capabilities, and dissolve when goals are met. Order emerges not from top down command, but spontaneously from bottom up interaction.

An open cyberspace allows intelligent actors to move, evolve, share norms, interoperate and collaborate across systems without being trapped inside proprietary enclosures. Without this open-endedness, intelligence fragments into silos and collective potential of intelligence collapses.
