Substrate Communications

A minimal structural framework for drift‑aware, paradox‑preserving messaging across heterogeneous systems.

• SubComm_module.json — Agentic module schema role assignments

This directory contains the canonical, self‑contained materials for Substrate Communications, a minimal message grammar designed for systems operating under:

• low bandwidth
• high latency
• intermittent connectivity
• heterogeneous hardware
• long‑term drift

Substrate Communications does not transmit raw telemetry.
It transmits structural summaries that preserve invariants, drift, and paradox.

Contents#

• substrate_comms_core.md — core concepts and framing
• message_types.md — minimal message formats
• regime_mapping.md — triadic interpretation across scales
• citation.cff — citation metadata
• zenodo.json — DOI metadata

All files are intentionally minimal and version‑stable.

For a narrative example, see the exploratory write‑up in docs/_ideas/0_Substrate_Communications.md

Contributor Onboarding (Minimal)#

This directory contains the canonical, minimal definition of Substrate Communications.
To keep the structure stable:

• keep additions conceptual, not implementation‑specific
• avoid adding domain‑specific examples directly to this folder
• place applied or extended use‑cases in separate directories
• preserve the minimal message types and triadic mapping
• do not expand the grammar beyond what is defined here

This folder anchors the core substrate‑comms grammar.
Extensions should build outward, not modify the core.
