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
