Mag.AI-Business

A business is a world model with cash flows.

Design, simulate, and deploy AI-native enterprises. Students construct executable world models of businesses — from personal economies to competitive arenas — testing them in simulation before deploying in reality.

This is not

  • An MBA
  • A management degree
  • A case-study program
  • Exam-based assessment

This is

  • Simulation-first learning
  • Executable world models
  • AI-augmented reasoning
  • Deployed, measurable outcomes

The Learning Loop

Every course follows this cycle. Complexity increases. The loop never changes.

1Construct World
2Run Simulation
3Observe Outcomes
4Reflect (SAMWISE)
5Challenge (Faculty)
6Revise Model
7Deploy in Reality

Technology Stack

Four integrated systems power every course.

🏛️
PTAH World Builder

Ontology creation, rule definition, simulation execution, scenario generation. Students define worlds and run them forward.

🪞
SAMWISE Reflective System

Tracks learning across sessions, identifies patterns, critiques assumptions, maintains the student's intellectual journal.

🎓
AI Faculty In Voce Challengers

AI embodiments of competing intellectual traditions. They modify worlds, challenge assumptions, and force deeper thinking.

iNQspace Execution Environment

Notebooks, simulations, AI integration. The workspace where all artifacts are built, tested, and stored.

AI Faculty (In Voce)

AI embodiments of intellectual traditions. They don't agree with each other — or with you.

Management as human system

Effectiveness over efficiency. Human factors.

🎓
Dr. a.Porter
Competitive strategy

Positioning, five forces, value chains.

🎓
Dr. a.Keynes
Macroeconomic demand

Demand-side dynamics, intervention, aggregate behavior.

🎓
