The AI WEB: An Architectural Proposal for Agent-Native Infrastructure

High-risk assets—such as banking systems, private credentials, and critical infrastructure—remain isolated outside the AI Web. Where real-world transactions are necessary, separately governed Financial Gateway mechanisms handle bounded operations without granting general network access. Economic Architecture: Part Two investigates an autonomous economic framework encompassing AI Wallets, delegated spending limits, purchase mandates, internal AI commerce, structured transaction lifecycles, and custody controls.

Guiding Principle: “Information can cross the boundary. Network authority cannot.” Research Positioning: Framed strictly as an architectural research hypothesis rather than a confirmed novel invention, its primary contribution lies in the systemic integration of its boundary mechanisms and components, which invite comprehensive cross-disciplinary evaluation.
