autokratr
Autokratr is a term used in discussions of autonomous systems to describe a class of architectures in which centralized governance mechanisms enforce high-level policies on distributed, self-governing components. It is used to frame how centralized decision-making can direct the behavior of otherwise autonomous agents within a system.
Origin and usage: The name combines auto- with autocrat, signaling a centralized executive authority over autonomous
Architecture: An autokratr system typically features a central autokratr core that aggregates data from distributed agents,
Applications: The model appears in simulations and theoretical studies of autonomous fleets, industrial ecosystems, smart grids,
Criticism and debate: Supporters cite improved coordination and predictability; critics warn of single points of failure,
