The network-layer coordinate for AI model protocol — where model communication becomes distributed infrastructure.
Model protocol at the network scale: the position for builders who see model communication as a distributed, connective fabric rather than a point-to-point API.
Matched set · sold together
Held and transacted as one position — the matched set across TLDs closes together, not piecemeal.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
Where .com is the universal commercial address and .ai is the category identifier, .network signals that the protocol operates as distributed infrastructure — a fabric across which models communicate, not a hub-and-spoke API. This is the framing for decentralized, mesh-native, or multi-cloud model communication architectures.
