Three segments converge on a genuinely new ontology: the entity you sell to is increasingly an AI, not a human. GEO: AI is a new customer, not a channel ([[contrarian-ai-is-not-a-channel]], [[concept-bnn-vs-ann]], [[concept-machine-customer-first]]); discovery collapses into a synthesized answer ([[concept-resolution-optimization]], [[concept-dark-funnel]]). Attention: agents act with [[concept-agentic-rationality]], dissolving the human biases platforms monetized ([[claim-ad-revenue-collapse]], [[concept-zero-click-commerce]]). Agentic: brands must win the contest between [[concept-brand-agents]] and [[concept-consumer-agents]] and optimize [[concept-share-of-model]]. The strategic prize shifts from *attention* to *inclusion, trust, and checkout* ([[cross-day-new-customer-reframe]], [[cross-day-disintermediation-power-shift]]). Failure state: becoming a [[concept-dumb-pipe]]. Companion: [[meta-persuasion-penalty]], [[meta-attention-surface-collapse]], [[meta-service-line-playbook]].
