The protocol-layer position for meaning-aware AI communication.
The canonical coordinate for the protocol that lets AI agents exchange semantic intent — not just structured data, but understood meaning.

Why this is canonical
'Protocol' is the technical term for the agreed rules of communication between systems. Pairing it with 'semantic' on .ai names the exact gap that multi-agent AI systems face: agents need protocols that convey meaning, not just format. This coordinate is best-positioned to be cited as the agent-era semantic communication standard.
