Dual-Layer Architecture

Page structure where every page serves both humans (visual UI) and agents (structured data, APIs).

Why it matters

The web is becoming bi-lingual: human-readable and machine-readable. Dual-layer architecture means your content works for both, without maintaining separate systems.

In practice

This page has 6 layers: semantic HTML, JSON-LD DefinedTerm schema, /api/pages endpoint, /llms.txt discovery, RSS feed, and the visual UI you're reading now.
