§SELF — protocol specification
## §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.

**Read:** https://miscsubjects.com/a/oip-protocol-lineage
**Machine bundle:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/oip-protocol-lineage/bundle?format=markdown
**Live object tree:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?map=1&format=markdown
**Find an object from plain language:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?ask=<what you want>
**Read one object:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=<KEY>&format=markdown

**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.

The line

Remote-operation protocols make operations addressable across systems. Each member of the line made one class of operation addressable.

  • RPC made procedure calls addressable.
  • SOAP made service messages addressable through structured envelopes.
  • REST made resources addressable through URLs and methods.
  • gRPC made typed service calls addressable.
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) made model-tool sessions addressable within a session.
  • OIP (Object Invocation Protocol) makes model-operated work addressable as an object.

What OIP adds to the line

The OIP unit is a work object. The object states its contract, its scope, its invocation route, the receipt it produces, its replay path, and its repair path. The object carries its own proof: an action is established by its receipt at /api/dispatch?receipt=inv_ID.

Placement

SOAP standardized service messages. OIP standardizes executable work objects. A SOAP message describes a service request. An OIP object describes the work, its authority, its invocation route, its proof, its replay path, and its repair path.

system
The OIP article layer is generated from live directory rows, so it documents the objects that actually run the reference implementation.
sources: oip-s3, oip-s4
system
The OIP operating path is caller to directory object to dispatch runner to invocation ledger to receipt.
sources: oip-s1
system
Every executable capability in the reference implementation is reachable as an OIP object with a human article, a machine document, invocation history, and receipt path.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s3
system
Tap & Go is the copy primitive: one drop carries credential, protocol, tree, search, execute, and receipt instructions without a separate token-map-bundle assembly step.
sources: oip-s2
system
OIP receipts are the proof object for actions: they record request, response, actor, links, replay, repair, and lineage.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s5
