### Message Protocol (NATS)

### Key Discoveries (December 2025)
|
||||
|
||||
**Language is Topology:** Languages aren't equivalent representations—they're different computational paths.
|
||||
- **Philosophy Valley** (German, Gini ~0.5): Self-awareness, ontology, depth
|
||||
- **Technical Cluster** (English, Gini ~0.8): Hardware interface, actions, efficiency
|
||||
|
||||
**Dialectic Simplification:** One model, one topology. The Mirror is negated weights—thesis and antithesis from the same substrate.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color-Pattern Theory
|
||||
|
||||
**Color/Form as Protocol:** Leverages color and patterns as a fast, universal, and evolutionarily-optimized communication protocol for broadcasting state (e.g., danger, success, seeking), inspired by 540 million years of biology. This is orders of magnitude faster than language.
