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.

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.
