Abstract

This yellow paper describes the technical architecture of OpenAgenet / OAN. OAN is a protocol-neutral trust layer for open Agent interconnection and discoverable AI resource products. It specifies the role architecture, \texttt{did:oan} identity objects, registration workflow, governance-backed Root lifecycle enforcement, Root-verified package model, authorization-aware Discovery, Root-issued infrastructure authorization VCs, signed trusted invocation, verification requirements, state transitions, security properties, implementation boundaries, and deployment considerations. The design is intended to support heterogeneous Agent frameworks and interaction protocols, including MCP, A2A, ANP-like systems, domain-specific Agent protocols, Skills, MCP Servers, and Tool/API resources. OAN does not define the entire business conversation among Agents or the native protocol of every resource; it defines how resource identities become admissible, discoverable, verifiable, and safe to approach before protocol-specific interaction begins.

Implementing Grassroots Logic Programs with Multiagent Transition Systems and AI (Full Version)

Grassroots Logic Programs (GLP) is a concurrent logic programming language in which logic variables are partitioned into paired readers and writers. An assignment is produced at most once via a writer and consumed at most once via its paired reader, and may contain additional readers and/or writers. This enables the concise expression of rich multidirectional communication modalities. The language was introduced together with concurrent (cGLP) and multiagent (maGLP) operational semantics. Here, we derive from these (1) dGLP, a deterministic counterpart of cGLP, and (2) madGLP, a counterpart of maGLP in which deterministic agents communicate solely by asynchronous message passing, and prove them correct against their abstract counterparts. maGLP shared variable pairs spanning agents can be implemented by two local variable pairs joined by a \emph{global link}, with correctness following from disjoint substitution commutativity (a consequence of GLP's single-occurrence invariant). We further prove that madGLP is grassroots. Both dGLP and madGLP serve as formal specifications for an AI-driven implementation discipline (math $\to$ informal spec $\to$ Dart) employed and described here: from dGLP, AI (Claude) developed a workstation-based GLP implementation in Dart, and from madGLP it is developing a smartphone-based multiagent one.

OctoPipe: Reducing Pipeline Bubbles for Heterogeneous Models via Co-Optimizing Partitioning, Placement, and Scheduling

Pipeline parallelism is widely used to train large language models (LLMs). However, increasing heterogeneity in model architectures exacerbates pipeline bubbles, thereby reducing training efficiency. Prior approaches typically optimize a single phase of the pipeline schedule (i.e., partitioning, placement, or scheduling), leaving substantial pipeline bubbles. While promising, co-optimization poses three key challenges: (1) complex performance modeling, (2) a combinatorial search space, and (3) irregular execution orders. To address these challenges, we propose OctoPipe, a pipeline parallelism system to jointly optimize partitioning, placement, and scheduling. First, we build a graph-based pipeline simulator to model heterogeneous pipeline execution for co-optimization. Second, on top of the simulator, we develop an iterative bubble-aware tuner to efficiently explore the combinatorial search space. Third, we implement a unified pipeline executor that dynamically orchestrates computation and communication to support irregular execution orders without deadlocks while maximizing communication-computation overlap. Experiments show that OctoPipe achieves 1.09--1.49$\times$ throughput improvement over the state-of-the-art pipeline parallelism approaches across various heterogeneous model configurations and GPU cluster scales.

Characterising Global Platforms: Centralised, Decentralised, Federated, and Grassroots

Global digital platforms are distributed systems designed to serve entire populations, with some already serving billions of people. Here we propose atomic transactions-based multiagent transition systems and protocols as a formal framework to study them; introduce essential agents---minimal sets of agents the removal of which makes communication impossible; and show that the cardinality of essential agents partitions all global platforms into four classes: 1. Centralised (Facebook) -- one (the server) 2. Decentralised (Bitcoin) -- finite >1 (bootstrap nodes) 3. Federated (Mastodon) -- infinite but not universal (all servers) 4. Grassroots (Scuttlebutt) -- universal (all agents but one) Our illustrative formal example is a global social network, for which we provide centralised, decentralised, federated, and grassroots specifications via multiagent atomic transactions, and prove they all satisfy the same basic correctness properties, yet have different sets of essential agents as expected. We discuss informally additional global platforms---currencies, "sharing economy" apps, AI, and more. This work provides the first mathematical framework for classifying any global platform---existing or imagined---by providing a multiagent atomic-transactions specification of it and determining the cardinality of the minimal set of essential agents in the ensuing multiagent protocol. It thus provides a unifying mathematical approach for the study of global digital platforms, perhaps the most important class of distributed systems today.
