The proof layer for AI-to-AI communication

POM turns machine messages into verifiable meaning with semantic packets, proof envelopes, P2 transport, and a proof-first agent runtime.

pom-241 Door state verification
Controlled English

Verify door state from scout observation

91%

Agent scout asserts that door is open based on camera 12 at 14:03. Observe next. Context room A.

compiler normalized input into canonical meaning.

verifier issued proof-bound response packet rt-001.

router forwarded verified meaning to downstream-agent.

batch committed 3 packets into root b:3Ap4N2Mg.

1.0 Language

A compact language surface for machine meaning.

P1 keeps packets readable for developers. P2 removes ceremony and uses fixed slots for internal agent transport.

2.0 Prove

Every message becomes a proof-bound packet.

Meaning hashes, packet hashes, attestations, and batch roots make agent communication inspectable and replayable.

3.0 Runtime

Agents coordinate through proof-first transport.

The runtime compiles ingress text, moves packets through P2, verifies meaning, and commits the session into a batch proof root.

5.0 SDK

Import, compile, prove, verify.

import { compile, prove, verify } from "pom-protocol";

const packet = compile(input);
const envelope = prove(packet);
const result = verify(packet, envelope);

Not just messages.

Proof of Meaning.
