The Space Protocol Handbook

Seems like this will be up your street @bob

This is the first I have seen of it. Let me know any questions if you have them and I can pass them on...

This documents objective is to outline the process by which you may form and reliably operate a Space**. A Space is an instance of the Space Protocol, and as such it is a place of interaction, collaboration, and creation, offered for the fulfillment of an intent.

The Space Protocol enables you to reliably collaborate with other Space Agents, organizing without necessarily favoring centralized and/or hierarchical structures. (Although the protocol allows the expression and operation of legacy organizations if such is your desire).

A Space Protocol is a set of expressions following the Space Language (that follows Space Protocol grammar), that clearly and unambiguously describe the reliable performance of actions among multiple Space Agents and affecting or requiring resources.

Space Agents communicate through offers. Your participation in a shared Space is voluntary.

A Space Offer, allows Space Agents to collaboratively construct a protocol, through “matching” different missing aspects of it. These aspects can include other Offers, Expressions, Protocols or resources. When all aspects are filled, all the expressions contained in the final Offer, it may reliably begin performing.

_When shared, a Space may function as a collective Agent: an Agency. Agencies may be public or private, uniquely identifiable and able to participate in other Spaces as a coherent whole.

Through this composition the Space Protocol enables the creation of large scale collaborative organizational networks. When viewing Space Agents in these networks organized around a specific intent, we refer to them as Constellations.

The Space Protocol is designed to be substrate independent. It is our desire to see a wide array of implementations: As sophisticated as a programming language or as simple as a board game.
