Why Standardization Is Necessary
As AI systems transition from producing information to executing real-world actions, they enter the domain of public institutions, legal accountability, and societal trust.
Such systems cannot remain proprietary, opaque, or isolated. They must operate under standards that are auditable, interoperable, and publicly legitimate.
From Protocol to Public Infrastructure
The Execution Layer is designed not to remain a private framework, but to evolve into a public digital infrastructure.
- From research architecture to open specification
- From experimental execution to institutional-grade operations
- From voluntary adoption to regulatory compatibility
What Is Standardized
- R2R Protocol for real-world execution requests
- Execution Node interface specifications
- Semantic Layer domain abstractions
- Execution Proof formats and verification
- Execution Node Registry structure
- Governance and certification mechanisms
Institutional Interfaces
The Execution Layer is designed to interface with existing and emerging institutions:
- Housing authorities and land registries
- Judicial systems and arbitration bodies
- Financial regulators and payment networks
- Universities and research institutions
- International standards organizations
Phased Standardization Roadmap
- Phase I: Open publication of protocol and reference architectures
- Phase II: Deployment of reference Execution Nodes and Registry
- Phase III: Multi-operator execution network
- Phase IV: Institutional adoption and regulatory alignment
- Phase V: Submission to formal standard bodies
Governance in a Public Context
Governance of the Execution Layer evolves as the system matures:
- From founding stewardship to distributed governance
- From protocol maintainers to institutional representation
- From technical oversight to public accountability
Why This Matters
Without public standards, AI execution risks becoming fragmented, opaque, and incompatible with democratic institutions.
The Execution Layer aims to ensure that as AI enters reality, it does so under structures that are legitimate, auditable, and socially aligned.
