Protocol
Protocol is a category about the mechanics of Forma: how the nodes are built, how roles are distributed, and why the work is organized this way. The articles explain individual decisions of the protocol with concrete examples. The article “A Model That Decides Instead of Talking: How Jev Helps Plumb Choose a Role” describes how the choice of a role for a task is made not by free-form conversation, but by a decision on given features. “Why an agent cannot check itself” explains why verification is moved outside of whoever did the work. “The natural law of the five nodes and the seasons” is about the link between the protocol’s five nodes and its rhythm. The category is for those who want to understand why the protocol requires exactly this sequence, rather than simply follow it. The texts are short, with no terms for the sake of terms, and each rests on what is described in the protocol itself.

A Model That Decides Instead of Talking: How Jev Helps Plumb Choose a Role
What Jev by TypeSafe is and how Plumb uses it in the Forma protocol to pick a role: no extra Kit calls, calibrated probabilities, low cost.
The natural law of the five nodes and the seasons
Nature is never in a hurry and never loses context. Five nodes unfold the work in their natural order: from the heat of Intent to the crystalline precision of Execution.
Why an agent cannot check itself
An agent’s conviction in its own rightness weighs nothing while there is no one to dispute it.
