Protocol: A set of rules or procedures for formatting and transmitting [data].

But not just data. Also energy, money, power, attention, memory, traffic, medicine, stimulus, nutrients, compute, risk. 

Data follows simple logic, which hides how useful protocols are in general.

Scientist and engineer interested in Life.

Work on (GOF)AI, Agriculture, Biology, Robotics, Deep Space---all topics getting as climate-aware as possible.

Wolfram, what a guy. Yea this lines up. 

If you imagine the “universe is computational”, then basically anything living is a computer, and protocols would be a key piece of the puzzle.

Interesting how this aligns with views in theoretical physics, where data is seen more fundamental.

Like Wolfram’s attempts first with cellular automata and now with hypergraphs. From theory of everything to protocol of everything.
