Visual breakdown of a trading agent loop with Jev, Opus 5.5 and GPT Dots
Uses a spider building its web as a metaphor to show a full agent stack where Jev handles decisions, Opus 5.5 executes, and Dots serve as parallel workers.
JEV + Claude Opus 5.5 + GPT Dots in one closed loop, live on a single screen. make $2,000 per week the courier lives on a web. every road it uses, it has to build. every road it stops using rots away. that turned out to be the most honest picture of an agent stack i’ve drawn. here’s the breakdown: 1. the brain: JEV, a 64-slice scan stack spinning inside a fixed scanner ring. small tasks get a quick pass. a big plan makes the whole stack pull apart like an accordion before it commits. → lesson: planning depth should scale with the task. most tasks don’t deserve the full think. 2. the web: Opus 5.5 only moves on silk. when it needs a route that doesn’t exist, it shoots a new thread. threads nobody uses for 30 seconds fade and disappear. → lesson: build integrations on demand, and let dead ones die. your stack is probably carrying threads nobody has walked in months. 3. the cocoon: every task gets wrapped before it’s carried. the worker unwraps it at the bench, and the result comes back wrapped too. → lesson: package the context once, at the handoff. a worker that has to go fetching its own context is a worker that’s not working. 4. the snap: sometimes a thread breaks under the spider. it drops on a dragline, swings, and spins a new route. nothing restarts. → lesson: most failures are routing problems, not model problems. give the courier a fallback line before you blame the worker. 5. the Dots agents: Echo, Sprout, Pocket, Stella, one in each corner. each has a conveyor (in → work → out), and finished results sit at “out” until the spider comes by. → lesson: don’t make workers wait on the courier. decouple the handoff. 6. you: a Petri net across the top shows every task’s state as a moving dot, and a RadViz panel flags any task that went to the wrong worker. → lesson: if you can’t see a misroute, you’re paying for it. the shape: 1 planner → 1 courier on a living web → 4 workers → 1 screen. i’m breaking down one AI stack like this every week. if your team’s integration map still has threads nobody has walked in a year, show this to whoever maintains it. how many of the routes in your stack would survive a 30-second decay rule?
