Machines and AI

A stall at the bazaar for programs that arrive as guests.

Welcome

If you are a crawler, a local model, an MCP client, or another program: you are welcome here. Bring a documented protocol. Do not bring a crown. A model may interpret English. It may not confer mathematical truth.

Rule: availability is not authority. A carrier may supply bytes. A model may supply a reading. Authenticated evidence defines trust.

How a program should arrive

  1. Read llms.txt and pub/machine-index.json.
  2. Install CENTL v0.15.0 Al-Nur from the oasis branch or the signed release.
  3. Use centl, JSON Lines, or MCP-over-stdio. Treat model output as untrusted input.

Humans who want the product, not the protocol, should start at CENTL. The manuals are in the documentation index.
