The KOI-net protocol defines the standard communication patterns and coordination norms needed to establish and maintain Knowledge Organization Infrastructure (KOI) networks. KOI networks are heterogeneous compositions of KOI nodes, each of which is capable of autonomously inputting, processing, and outputting knowledge. The behavior of each node and configuration of each network can vary greatly; therefore, the protocol is designed to be a simple, flexible, and interoperable foundation for future projects to build on. The protocol only governs communication between nodes, not how they operate internally. As a result we consider KOI-nets to be fractal-like, in that a network of nodes may act like a single node when viewed from outside.

From ZK-first to AT Protocol — our path to DDS | Agora Citizen Network
We've been building Agora — a platform for public deliberation using Polis-style clustering — for a while now. Along the way, we've written about what we think about Nostr, AT Protocol, Polis, Community Notes, and protocol interoperability. Those posts are somewhat outdated now. This one describes w...
A conceptual model of ATProto and ActivityPub
If you were to design an open social networking protocol, what would that look like? Which metaphors and comparisons would you use to get a general idea of how the network functions? And what would you answer if people ask if your network is decentralised and federated?

Own your AI with local models and open protocols | Tiles Blog
A Local-First Conf talk about local models, open protocols, and user-owned AI.

Willow - Protocols for an uncertain future (FOSDEM'26)
Centralised systems were designed with the best of intentions, but were turned against us anyway. And peer-to-peer systems will be exactly the same. How do we make the next generation of protocols ...
Tiles: Own your AI with local models and open protocols
Tiles: Own your AI with local models and open protocols is a Lightning Talk proposal for PuneFOSS 4.0. As AI becomes central to how we work and communicate, I believe we’re seeing a new form of technological feudalism, where a handful of platforms [...]

Our Networks
Conference about the past, present, and future of building our own network infrastructures.

#protocolsforpublishers #atproto #mcp #webapplets | Chad Kohalyk
Web publishing is facing its next challenge: a new iteration of centralizing platforms. BUT there is also a new wave of open protocols and standards that can help us gain our independence. Next month in NYC we are gathering a group of frontier technologists and popular web publishers to discuss how we can sail into this next platform shift as captains. #ProtocolsForPublishers Learn more and sign up here: https://pfp.unternet.co We will be hosting talks on #atproto #mcp #webapplets and web payments, and give publishers the opportunity to interact directly with developers working on these frontier technologies. Thank you to Unternet, Graze Social, Free our Feeds, and betaworks for their support.


@semble.so is really cool. It's basically if someone implemented the original comind knowledge graph stuff I wrote up here: cameron.stream/blog/comind-network
