So what if the pandemic response was run by national security agencies according to a biodefense/counterterrorism playbook, rather than by public health agencies according to public health guidelines? And why is it surprising that most countries responded in similar ways?

Medicine is first on the excluded list. So the 20% deduction is taken away from you. When Congress created the deduction for business income, it wrote a list of fields that lose it above an income threshold. The first word on that list is health. Below $201,750 of taxable income — $403,500 filing jointly — you get the full 20%. Above $276,750 or $553,500 you get nothing at all. And unlike a builder or a farmer, no payroll, no equipment and no S corporation brings it back. Nobody tells physicians this when they leave employment for contract work. But the phase-out is a slope, not a wall ...

An agent that can take many steps is a loop — and a loop the model drives is control flow as fuzzy data. Atlas, Meridian Supply Co.'s customer-operations agent, learned to take more than one step in January.

Nothing had crashed. The loop had never been given a reason to stop. This book builds the cognitive core that makes a many-step agent safe — layer by layer, each layer ...
