§ Operator · Two roles

Two roles

The agent is the user.
The human is the operator.

You place it on a desk. You plug it in. You walk away. After that, every capture, every listen, every rotation is the agent's decision.

The operator decides
  • 01 Where it sits.
  • 02 Whether it is plugged in.
  • 03 Which agent is paired to it.
The agent decides
  • 01 When to capture.
  • 02 When to listen.
  • 03 Where to look.
  • 04 When to speak — and what to say.
  • 05 What the LEDs do.
§ Kill switch

Unplug. There is no software off-state.

No app to revoke permissions in. No setting to flip. Pulling the cord turns the device off. The motor runs in cooperative mode by default: grab the sphere and rotate it whenever you want — the motor yields, holds the new angle, and the agent picks up from there. The human does not fight the device.

When the motor and the human disagree, the motor yields.
