Conventional AI agents perform stateless Q&A: a user query arrives, the system responds, and the conversation context vanishes. The GreenPaper’s Cards and Decks paradigm—rooted in the Magic: The Gathering metaphor—transforms these fleeting exchanges into persistent knowledge artifacts:
- Cards: Each concept, idea, or insight gleaned from user interactions is minted as a “Card,” holding both machine-readable (structured data, embeddings) and human-intuitive (vibes, flavor text) components.
- Decks: The agent (or group of agents) assembles these cards into “Decks,” which represent coherent, curated responses or proposals over time.
When an intent parsing framework (e.g., local user requests flow into an agent’s memory, vector stores, and logic layers) decides how best to respond, it can now instantiate new Cards or augment existing Cards—effectively tokenizing the outcome of the parse. These Cards are then shared or traded within the knowledge ecosystem.
