What’s your favorite protocol? Defined broadly as rules of engagement for any complex behavioral domain for some mix of humans and/or machines? With link if obscure.
I guess because it’s not standardized enough to feel like a protocol with rules? I don’t think it fits the prompt really. Perhaps a specific dating or arranged marriage culture.
Interesting. I think the “rules of engagement for any complex behavioral domain” description evoked it for me.
Definitely a more loose, vague, amorphous, encoded set of rules than other examples in the thread but rules and an informal protocol nonetheless.
Yeah, and there’s many softer, more human ones that are nevertheless very strongly standardized. Like birthday parties for eg: bring a present, stay till the cake cutting at least, sing happy birthday…
Hah that’s an incredible example.
I thought of dancing, tons of specific styles and cultural variants that consist of a fairly strict set of rules. Interesting because this rigidity serves an aesthetic purpose, not sure of many other examples like this.
