9-channel polyglot communication framework — think like a polyglot, not a compiler

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

Channel	Name	Question
C1	Boundary	What are we talking about?
C2	Pattern	How do pieces connect?
C3	Process	What's happening over time?
C4	Knowledge	How sure am I?
C5	Social	Who cares and why?
C6	Deep Structure	What's really being said?
C7	Instrument	What tools are available?
C8	Paradigm	What model of thought?
C9	Stakes	What matters vs what doesn't?

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.
