The Seattle Grid (Q-Protocol v1.2) is a spatial addressing system for distributed intelligence. It maps Function and Memory to specific hexagonal coordinates, enabling a "Shared Physics" for autonomous agents.
The Coordinate Map
| Range | Designation | Latency Target |
|---|---|---|
| 0x000 | Q-Kernel | < 1ms |
| 0x400 | Clair-Chat | ~200ms (Async) |
| 0x900 | Embodied | < 5ms (Real-Time) |
Layer 1: The Q-Kernel (0x000)
The kernel acts as a universal runtime. In traditional systems, every AI agent is a heavy Docker
container. This leads to "Container Sprawl." The Q-Kernel allows thousands of stateless
"Lite-Agents" to share a single execution environment, routed by K12-signed 0x000
packets.
Layer 2: Clair-Chat (0x400)
Despite the name, this is not a chatbot. It is a Parallel Research Engine. A single instruction (e.g., "Map all changes to RESPA compliance in 2026") spawns 50+ concurrent headless browser instances. These sub-agents scour the web, parse PDFs, and synthesize findings into a structured Identity Cube.
Layer 3: Embodied (0x900)
This range is reserved for physical actuators. When controlling a robotic arm or an IoT device,
natural language is too slow. The 0x900 range uses high-frequency binary telemetry to
ensure safety-critical response times.
