Collaborative mode
Current Orbyt operating mode in which seats carry out assigned work independently while specified decisions return to a human founder.
In plain language
Seats work on their own until a decision reserved for the founder appears.
In a sentence
- In collaborative mode, the seat drafted a proposal and waited for the founder's decision.
- The dashboard labels collaborative mode as the way the Machine runs today.
Usage note
Independent work does not mean every choice is delegated. The public description places a person in the loop on decisions and labels the autonomous alternative as a preview.
Not to be confused with
- Autonomous mode
Collaborative mode is the stated live arrangement. Autonomous mode depicts a future arrangement in which the Machine would decide and fix without that intervention.
Why it matters
The name tells a reader which part of the simulation describes current operation and which part describes a proposed change.

- Autonomous mode
Proposed Orbyt operating mode, still being built, in which the Machine would decide and fix things on its own, with nobody in the loop on its decisions, while money, public claims, anything irreversible and the gates stay the founder's in either mode.
- Authority matrix
Committed table that assigns each Orbyt seat work it may do alone and work that requires a human decision, with workflows enforcing that split.
