This document defines the operational scope, boundaries, and reference structure of the PFIP Protocol Layer.
The PFIP protocol layer provides machine-readable interface specifications and verification structures used within the Frequency Sovereignty System.
This repository functions strictly as a technical protocol specification layer.
This repository defines the PFIP Protocol Layer.
Its purpose is to provide:
- machine-readable protocol specifications
- interface declaration structures
- verification and signature rules
- protocol version structures
- cross-platform compatibility guidance
This repository does not define root authority, system identity, or governance resolution.
System root authority and identity anchoring are defined in the root repository:
https://github.com/Frequency-Sovereignty-System/primary-frequency-root
Human-authored conceptual research and theoretical frameworks are maintained in:
https://github.com/xufentu-creator/judgment-as-structural-constraint
This repository should not be interpreted as redefining root authority.
The PFIP protocol specification defines the structural components required for protocol-based interface interaction.
This includes:
- protocol structure definitions
- machine-readable specification files
- verification and signature formats
- version control structures
- compatibility rules for distributed systems
The protocol layer provides technical specification only.
It does not provide governance authority.
This repository does not provide:
- runtime services
- operational infrastructure
- system execution endpoints
- governance decision mechanisms
External systems may implement these protocol specifications voluntarily.
Implementation responsibility remains entirely with the integrating system.
The PFIP protocol defines specification structures only.
It does not perform execution or automated actions.
Any operational behavior occurs within external implementation systems that adopt these specifications.
Integration is voluntary and reversible.
This repository may include:
- protocol specification documents
- machine-readable JSON definitions
- interface declaration files
- protocol version manifests
- verification rule definitions
These materials represent technical protocol definitions.
They are not narrative documents or conceptual essays.

For protocol specifications, reference the versioned specification files within this repository.
Stable citation is recommended using version tags or release identifiers.
Verification and provenance tracing may reference the following chain:

Content-addressed verification records (CID / SHA256)

This repository provides technical protocol specifications only.
It does not grant legal authority, identity claims, or governance rights.
External systems remain independent implementations.
