Protocols

The prompt pack frames MAPLE as an operating system and protocol suite. These protocol names are useful shorthand for how the platform moves intent, authorization, and evidence through the system.

Protocol map

| Protocol | Purpose | Mental model | | --- | --- | --- | | MRP | Maple Resonance Protocol | Signal and cognition flow | | CEP | Commitment Exchange Protocol | Typed action declaration and approval | | PVP | Provenance Verification Protocol | Receipt and lineage verification | | GCP | Governance Coordination Protocol | Policy and approval coordination | | WLP | WorldLine Presence Protocol | Identity presence and liveness |

State sketches

MRP

present -> coupled -> meaning -> intent

CEP

proposed -> evaluated -> authorized | denied | held -> executed

PVP

receipt -> proof lookup -> lineage verification -> replay

GCP

policy load -> simulate -> enforce -> review

WLP

registered -> active -> observed -> suspended

These names are most useful when you need to explain that MAPLE is not treating "tool call" as a single opaque operation. It breaks execution into explicit protocols with enforcement points.
