polyformalism-a2a

Think like a polyglot, not a compiler.

A 9-channel intent encoding framework for agent-to-agent communication. Based on the insight that bilingual people don't translate word-by-word — they understand intent in one language and express it in another. This library formalizes that process.

The 9 Channels

Quick Start

from polyformalism_a2a import IntentProfile, encode, decode, translate

# Encode intent in 9 channels
profile = encode("We need to deploy by Friday or we lose the contract")
print(profile.flavor())  # dominant channels

# Translate intent to a different paradigm
pyramid_intent = translate(profile, target="pyramid")
navajo_intent = translate(profile, target="navajo")

# Check alignment between two profiles
similarity = profile.align(other_profile)
print(f"Alignment: {similarity:.2f}")

Navigation Metaphors

This library implements five key principles from nautical navigation:

1. Splines in the Ether — The 9 channels are anchor points. The intent between them is continuous and undescribable.
2. Fair Curve First — Sight the intent first, find measurements second.
3. Where the Rocks Aren't — Negative knowledge (absence of danger) is primary.
4. Draft Determines Truth — The same message is safe or deadly depending on the receiver.
5. The Physical World Solved This — Survive by navigating, not by approximating truth.
