Names the protocol layer for AI-era shipping — the rules, message formats, and interoperability standards that govern how shipping systems communicate and coordinate.
Matched pair · sold together
Held and transacted as one position. A matched .ai + .com pair forecloses its own most common confusable — one coordinate, not two names.
