Contents of the GTP section. Part of the TPM hub. GTP is TPS part 6, the AGENT CONTRACT, taken as a runnable instruction set, with no version of its own (TPS 1.2.6); the text this section publishes under that name documents the instruction layer generically and is not normative (D174.1). TPS is the specification of the machine and governs above it.
Start here
The walk through explains the instruction layer from nothing, in six pages.
- What the orders are, and who writes them
- How a rule gets fired
- When the rules collide
- What the agent will not do
- Keeping the pieces in step
- Saying what the work is for
The operator's guide
Four procedures, each opening with its diagram. The guide assumes the walk through.
- Installing and verifying an instruction set
- Running a decision pause
- Vetting an input and handling a detection
- Branching a thread and requesting closeout
