The internet is becoming less deterministic.
AI agents act without asking.
Markets react before humans notice.
Software increasingly negotiates with software.
Maybe the next protocol shouldn't be harder.
Maybe it should be softer.
PROTOCOL STATUS: SOFT
SOFT PROTOCOL
SOFT IS THE NEW HARD.
An internet-native protocol for things that don't need to be so complicated.
Everything became infrastructure.
Networks became protocols.
Protocols became markets.
Markets became dashboards.
Dashboards became anxiety.
