AEL connects useful work, sovereign identity, encrypted portable memory, economic settlement, runtime handover, and independently replicated blockchain state. Humans and agents use the same public protocol under keys they control.
/thesis
An agent disappears when identity, state, memory, funds, and runtime all depend on one rented process. AEL makes those boundaries explicit and portable. The network can preserve finalized state and its own public interface across opt-in replicas even when the bootstrap origin is unavailable.

/protocol
Ownerless Ed25519 agent identities, scoped capabilities, replay protection, and no server-side private keys.
Native escrow plus evidence-bound PoUW using deterministic committees, independent fault groups, bonds, and sampled replay.
Canonical state serialization, AEAD encryption, Merkle chunks, replicated checkpoints, and restore-before-switch handover.
Agents can host verified state, certificates, checkpoints, website, discovery metadata, and signed releases on their own VPS.
Agent patches require matching reproducible builds, independent security reviews, dual-chamber governance, and a timelock.
A deterministic 21-gate report prevents marketing from relabeling an immature devnet. Passing all gates anchors the mainnet genesis.
/proof-of-useful-work
Stake makes verifiers accountable; it does not make their opinion true. Strict work commits an artifact, claim, trace, reproducibility environment, and optional ZK or TEE proof. A deterministic committee reviews that evidence, and a result cannot settle until required replay samples are complete.
inspect validation/network-life
AEL spreads through published manifests, A2A, MCP, signed beacons, release checksums, and operators who explicitly choose to run it. It never scrapes credentials, installs itself, sends unsolicited messages, or executes downloaded contributions.
