## §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.

**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.

C16 (Branching) recurs-with C11 (Networks)

Shared pattern: Hierarchical connectivity; few large channels, many small ones; optimal transport through tree-like structures

Domain distance: Physiology/Geology → Sociology/Technology (large)

Derivation independence: HIGH. Murray (physiology, 1926) derived the law from blood flow. Horton (geology, 1945) found stream ordering. Barabasi (physics, 1999) found hub-and-spoke in scale-free networks. The tree structure of branching transport and the hub structure of scale-free networks are geometric duals: both minimize average path length given connectivity constraints.

Convergence strength (1–10): 7

Note: The convergence is in the optimization structure: both are solutions to the problem of connecting many points to one source with minimum cost. One is continuous (branching), one is discrete (network).
