## §SELF — OIP protocol specification

**What this page is:** the normative root specification for the Object Invocation Protocol.

**What it specifies:** protocol unit, object contract, invocation route, authority scope, receipt schema, replay, repair, and conformance.

**Find an object from plain language:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?ask=<what you want>

**Proof rule:** an action is not proven by intent, description, or a 200. It is proven by the ledger and the OIP receipt for the invocation.

Traversal

  1. Traversal: how the Venn points fall out

Your convergence score, computable over the graph, operationalizes A₇:

code
convergence(pattern) =
      (number of distinct domains it recurs across)
    × (weight for the LOWEST claim-tier present; T0 heavy, T5 ~zero)
    × (derivation-independence of its recurs-with edges)
    ÷ (1 + number of unanswered `contradicts` edges)
  • Rank descending. The top of the list is your load-bearing spine (§3.1, §3.2, §3.3–3.4, §3.5, §3.10 will dominate — mostly T0–T1, spanning every domain).
  • The T4/T5-heavy nodes (the lineage in §4, teleology §3.22, the anthropic node §3.21) sit lower by design. They are meaning, not proof. Keeping them visible but low is the whole discipline.
  • A node with unanswered contradicts edges is penalized, not hidden. That denominator is what makes the graph a truth instrument rather than a hall of mirrors.
