# Bittensor The Bittensor ecosystem is a competitive landscape, and fully understanding how entities interact within the network is a knowledge base that comes with time. However, there are some resources to prime yourself prior to developing subnets and, ultimately, incentive mechanisms. The [Bittensor Whitepaper](https://bittensor.com/whitepaper) is an excellent place to obtain a solid technical basis of how Bittensor works. From the Bittensor Whitepaper: > "The solution \[to creating a framework for machine intelligence] is a network of computers that share representations continuously and asynchronously, peer-to-peer (P2P) across the internet. The constructed market uses a digital ledger to record ranks and incentivize peers in a decentralized manner." To learn more about the Bittensor ecosystem you should follow the [Bittensor documentation](https://docs.bittensor.com/). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.macrocosmos.ai/about-us/bittensor.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
