Agentic economy — autonomous agents negotiating and transacting on our behalf.
Agentic AI — systems that decide and act with autonomy, not only respond.
Cognitive sovereignty — keeping one's own epistemic frame against mediating systems.
Education 6.0 — pedagogical symbiosis; imagination over memory.
Synthetic Era (Era Sintética) — the period of autonomous AI, synthetic identity and human–AI symbiosis.
