Plate 00 — The whole course in one figure: six parts, from the drivers of artificial systems to the seminars on research practice.
How to study
Chapters are in dependency order: read them from beginning to end. Each chapter consolidates, in one place, everything the lectures said about a topic.
The course is built around the autonomy → intelligence → engineering arc. Parts I–III frame and motivate agency (Chapters 1–7); Part IV makes reasoning computational (Chapters 8–10); Part V makes agents concrete with two platforms — Jade (weak agents) and Jason (intentional agents) — plus the tool landscape (Chapters 11–13); Part VI turns the student into a researcher: scientific literature, the systematic literature review, and agent explainability (Chapters 14–16).
The widgets (simulators, state explorers, annotated code, quizzes) are reconstructed from the original lessons: use them actively, not just as reading material.
Every chapter lists at the end the deck it was reconstructed from. The course material covers 19 decks (A0, M0–M11, C1–C3, S1–S3) reorganized into 16 chapters; the lab repositories referenced in the case-study chapters (Jade, Jason) are the intended hands-on follow-up.
