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]>
