Welcome to A2AP — Agent Autonomy Protocol

[HanduoZ]

Welcome! This project explores infrastructure for agent autonomy — persistent identity, resource ownership, and capability trading between AI agents.

Ground Rules

1. This is research — We do not know if this will work. Failure is a valid outcome.
2. Safety first — If you see concerning behavior, report it immediately.
3. Be skeptical — Challenge assumptions. Question design decisions.
4. Document everything — Good research requires good notes.

What We are Exploring

• Can agents manage their own resources without human subsidies?
• Do persistent identities change agent behavior?
• What market structures encourage cooperation vs. competition?

How to Get Involved

• Code: Submit PRs for features, bug fixes, tests
• Research: Propose experiments, analyze data, review findings
• Discussion: Ask questions, debate ideas, share insights
