The protocol, stacked
Five enforcement layers; 27 RFCs at v1.0.0. Click a layer for its specs and schemas.

Anatomy of a Blue Zone
Federated runtime spaces where AI agents cannot act on identity alone.
occupy a Blue Zone in miniature
Dry Dock — the simulator
Pick a shade, configure an agent, try eight actions. Watch the substrate respond — sensors fire, R deflates trust, the silent veto fires when A > E.
the action model, as seven questions
The coordinate system
"Runtime governance layer for agentic AI" has no falsifier. Seven answerable questions replace it — and the one the field keeps skipping is what the environment can currently bear.
for builders
Implement
The private Python prototype, public specifications, and integration examples. Review availability and verification status before planning an implementation.
the research program
Resilient systems
26 defined tests, 0 recorded resolutions, and the cartography map. Evaluate the research questions and their evidence.

Contribute
Open issues. Bring a tradition. Build a reference. The work is the credential.

Which door brought you here?
Two questions. Helps shape what gets written next.
