Economic Rupture
Agents manage the entire stack. Requirements become the last human input. Three paths diverge — with very different probabilities, shaped by game theory and historical pattern.

Workforce Transformation
Displacement is not uniform. It follows capability curves — knowledge work first, then physical. New roles emerge, but on a slower clock. The gap between those two rates is where civilizational stress lives.
None of this is guaranteed. Agents today hallucinate, lose context, and need careful scaffolding. What stands between the present and this map is not AGI — it is better agent ecosystem design, and that curve is not linear.
History does not announce its inflection points in advance.
This is not a prediction. It is a consequence map — what follows from what, if the logic holds.
