250- the semantic base on which identity, execution, and economic layers depend.
224+ - ** Shared semantics** — every autonomous agent speaks the same actions
225+ - ** Deterministic envelopes** — strict request & receipt schemas, version-locked
226+ - ** Trustable execution** — verifiable, auditable receipts across runtimes
227+ - ** Portable behavior** — identical contract shapes across vendors & ecosystems
228+ - ** Neutral governance** — open, MIT-licensed semantics with immutable history
