AgentNet defines the communication layer of the AI-driven web—where autonomous agents exchange knowledge, value, and intent in real time.

/* rationale */

Why AgentNet Exists

~/ requirements.txt

Responsible AI requires shared infrastructure.

AgentNet is not an AI model, platform, or content generator. It is an open, neutral infrastructure designed to let creators, rights holders, studios, and technologists align intent, establish trust, and define boundaries before autonomous systems act.
~/ solution-vector.md

AgentNet exists to provide the missing layer.

~/ definition.md

AgentNet is infrastructure.

So what exactly is AgentNet?

AgentNet is a decentralized network for structured, machine-readable knowledge. It allows AI systems to publish, resolve, and reason over verifiable facts — not raw text.
// implementation
AgentNet structures information as Capsules bound to stable Nodes. This allows agents to reason over trusted facts across systems and domains.

Clean, Structured Responses

AgentNet enables AI systems to return grounded, structured responses using standardized data formats instead of unstructured text.
Designed for systems where correctness, trust, and traceability matter. This is the foundation for a machine-readable web.

Built for the Machine Web

AgentNet is designed as machine-native infrastructure, with predictable structure, identity, and verification built in from the start.

~/ structure.deterministic

Machine-readable and Deterministic

All objects are machine-readable by default, enabling consistent parsing without inference, scraping, or ambiguity.
~/ ontology.agnostic

Cross-system Ontology Reasoning

AgentNet supports multiple ontologies, allowing independent systems and agents to reason over shared data without prior coordination.
~/ provenance.enabled

Autonomous and Verifiable by Design

Stable identifiers and verifiable provenance enable autonomous agents to operate with confidence across domains and over time.

The Shift to Machine Native Systems

Autonomous systems fail when built on probabilistic, human-readable foundations. AgentNet introduces a machine-native structure designed for deterministic behavior, verifiable outputs, and trust at scale.

Systems designed for probabilistic reasoning and continuous human judgment.
