The claims in the books are real. Watch them happen.
Each exercise in the Agentic AI Playbooks is shown here as a short agent conversation — a real decision worked out between a human and the agents — ending in the receipt that proves it. No terminal required.
You do not need to run anything. Press play and watch the agents reason through a real situation; the receipt that makes it provable appears underneath, in plain language. Want to run one yourself? Every exercise's full step-by-step lives in the book's Appendix RX: Hands-On Demonstrations.
📖 Docs
The walkthroughs below are the living documentation for every hands-on exercise — each a real agent conversation ending in the receipt that proves it.

Watching a walkthrough is verifying the claim: every demonstration is deterministic and receipted — the same artifact every time, because the system is receipted. No install, no trust required.

Series 0 · The Capture Economy · the lens
Start here. This book is the lens — it names the problem the whole catalog solves.
One distinction runs through everything on this site: value earned by work versus value collected by position — the toll a record-holder collects from work it did not do. The Capture Economy teaches that lens and shows it operating on two axes.
Axis one — the recordWhoever owns the ledger, the meter, and the grade captures the value that flows past it. Ten patterns, Chapters 2–11.
Axis two — the intelligenceThe same logic one layer up: whoever owns the model, the ranking, and the attention meter captures the value that flows through the mind. Chapter 12.

The walkthroughs above run in your browser — nothing to install. If you'd rather run a real node on your own machine, the code is public and the crypto ships with it. Book ≠ module: the books teach; this repository is the running node. Nothing here is a token, a coin, a yield, or a security.

The five turns: key ceremony (key on this machine only · no passphrase · no recovery service · lose the file = lose the identity) → name the node → choose which acts always need your hand → approve or deny your first gated act → a signed receipt. Turn 5 prints the exact snippet to verify the receipt yourself — no AI, no cloud, no account. Full scope in the repo's RUN_THE_NODE.md.
No terminal? Every walkthrough above is a complete, deterministic demonstration in your browser — just pick Series 1 or Series 2 and watch it run.
Each walkthrough is a deterministic demonstration — the conversation dramatizes the exercise; the receipt is the artifact it produces, the same every time, because the system is receipted. A live "run it yourself against a sandbox" mode is coming. · six-sov.com
