The protocol-layer position where AI agent communication meets foundational internet infrastructure.
A meta-framing for the transport and coordination protocols that agentic systems will depend on — naming the layer where TCP/IP-style reliability meets AI-native communication.

Why this is canonical
TCP/IP is the defining metaphor for foundational, invisible, universally-relied-upon infrastructure. Prefixing it with 'meta' places this coordinate at the reflexive, cross-cutting layer — the protocol of protocols — precisely where agent communication standards are being contested and defined.
