The Agents Shared Cognition Protocol (ASCP)

ASCP is a draft specification suite for a protocol to support persistent, structured context shared between humans and AI agents. It defines an immutable articulation grammar, a secure distribution layer, and a local-first append-only log sync model.

The work is still in draft form, but substantial: multiple detailed specifications are included, and we’re actively iterating across the grammar, security model, and synchronization layer. It’s not “finished,” but it’s well beyond half-baked.

We welcome contributions and feedback from collaboration-tool builders, protocol designers, distributed-systems engineers, and security/cryptographic reviewers who are interested in advancing an open, vendor-neutral standard for durable shared context.

I'm implementing this concept with OCI layers, so in my mind, we already have a protocol and if we add a manifest spec that includes some things beyond what container images normally do, that seems sufficient to me

The proposal uses too much fanciful or made up words, if you read it, you'll know the vibe I'm talking about but cannot find the right words to describe. An amount of anthropomorphizing, more so in trying to impart how human intelligence works into the machines. OP, this would be the first place address in your proposal. We don't need some unintuitive word like "artipoint" or "cortex layer", use industry terms instead

Thank you for the thoughts. Relative "made up words", what if the concepts reference things that didn't exist before their definition in these specifications?

ie: At one point "hyperlink" and "Uniform Resource Locator" were made up words. No different that say "web log" (blog) and "Client-Server Architecture" were being made up as well.

I contend that both "Artipoint" and "Cortex Layer" have similar parallels in the sense they refer to concepts newly formulated or at least are captured into a formalism with a label for the first time!

verdverm•1mo ago
Cortex Layer is not made up, rather it is an anthropomorphization you want to become one of these words. Stop anthropomorphizing, it turns rational people off

Putting "Cognition" in the acronym is another example. These things are not cogniating, that's not how they work, they don't think, they have been gradient descended to use special <think> runs in their token generation
