Sense is the afferent open standard — the always-on, deterministic, energy-accounted record of what is happening around an agent, and a governed account of when that is worth attention. The tool protocols (MCP/A2A/ACP) standardize an agent reaching OUT for capabilities; Sense standardizes the observations flowing IN, the substrate every ambient/ proactive agent needs but none specify. Distinct from OpenTelemetry GenAI: that traces the agent's own reasoning (efferent, non-deterministic by its own admission); Sense records the world the agent is in (afferent), deterministically, every datum provenance- and trust-tagged, every interruption priced in joules and sealed in a receipt. Four tiers, deterministic-first, inference last: - sense-schema — content-addressed Event, vendor-neutral SourceClass, TrustLevel, family Energy/Provenance, StateProjection, Highlight. - sense-store — content-addressed, HLC-ordered, replay-deterministic log; two runs over the same events yield a byte-identical digest. - sense-attention — deterministic salience/novelty/uncertainty observer, k-sigma highlight detector, and the attention budget that gates surfacing by value-vs-interruption-cost (displacement + interference), priced in joules. Perception ⊗ attention-budget — the afferent dual of JCP's capability ⊗ joule-budget. - sense-cascade — query envelope + deterministic recall retrieval + speculative cascade that answers factual recall with zero LLM calls and escalates only as a last resort. - sense-receipt — hash-chained Ed25519 surfacing log (allows AND holds chained); JCR-1 COSE_Sign1 for cross-family verification. SPEC §1-§10, conformance C1-C5 with a reproducible vector pack, a sense-cli end-to-end demo. 38 tests green, clippy clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]> |

Sense conformance vectors — v1
Reproducible fixtures for the five conformance classes (SPEC §9). A third-party implementation is conforming if it reproduces these values from the spec alone. Regenerate with:
cd ../../sense-rs
cargo run -p sense-conformance --bin sense-gen-vectors
meta.json— the signing profile: algorithm (EdDSA / COSE-8), the surfacing-receipt profile tag (sense/surfacing/1), the reference steward's public key, and its DID. The steward key is a fixed seed everyone has; it attests nothing — it only makes the signatures reproducible.vectors.json— the expected outputs:c1_replay_digest— the BLAKE3 replay digest of the scripted event stream.c2_event_id— the content id of the canonical event; binds source class and trust.c3_highlights/c3_decisions— the highlights the scripted stream fires and the gate's surface/hold decisions.c4_recall_model(deterministic) /c4_open_ended_escalated(true) — the cascade answered recall with no model call and escalated the open-ended query.c5_verify_ok(3) /c5_excision_breaks_at(1) — the surfacing chain verifies, and dropping the middle link breaks it at index 1.c5_first_link_jcr1_envelope_hex— the first surfacing link as a JCR-1 COSE_Sign1 envelope, verifiable with the family's shared tooling.
The same facts are asserted by the in-repo tests in sense-conformance, so the
published pack and the test suite check identical behaviour.
