Autopilot / Pilot
From the Meridians Wiki · Public · Maintained · joint
The two modes of running a maintained expert. On autopilot the expert runs
its Program autonomously on cadence — watching, updating positions, tracking calls — with no user driving.
The autopilot inbox (DomainProgramView) is a finite, chronological stream of the meaningful events it
produced, each answering "does the autopilot need me?" in one quiet autopilot-status line. Piloting
is the human taking the controls: drilling from an inbox item into the desktop studio to inspect, correct,
or steer — a pilot action is the one drill target a card offers. The four tasks
(engine identifiers watch → opinion → tutor → project; surfaced as Research → Opinion → Merge → Position)
remain the engine's decomposition — internal event metadata, never
the user-facing information architecture (that's Consequence, below). (The four tasks are
watch → opinion → tutor → project.)
