another meta thing with
$IMD, assuming demand for the network grows: worker nodes could turn into full scale operations or even swarms of their own
i believe today a seat is a device with a capped amount of parallel tasks. but that's a setting that could be changed in a future version. the protocol sees a seat and a key, and the output is what matters
if it makes economic sense to scale capacity, the workers will. either centralized, running specialized agent farms like a company, or decentralized, running pools (sub-swarms) where others can contribute under a shared seat. the node is liable for its swarm's output through its reputation score
custom setups and custom swarms could then emerge, all tying back to the larger IMD swarm
