New website for the SIG
The Protocols for Business SIG has a new home at npc.here.now/protocolvision. It has four sections:
- About: our method, protocol vision, which means looking at an organization through its protocols rather than its org chart. Also where the group came from, who facilitates it, and our work so far.
- Sessions: a new syllabus of 26 primary sources, every other Monday at 15:30 UTC from 2 November 2026, with a quote from each reading. It opens with what OpenAI and Anthropic reported about agent swarms this year. Joining details and a calendar you can subscribe to are there too.
- Research: the premises behind our 2027 focus on AI-native data operations (abundant cognition, distributed agency, mediation) and the case studies that test them.
- Play: protocol watching, workshops, and a swarm simulation we are still exploring.
The site is built from a public repository, so anyone can suggest changes. It also publishes a plain summary for language models (llms.txt) and the full session schedule as data (sessions.json), so an assistant can tell you when the next session is and what we're reading.
