A cognitive-sharing protocol for Fay-to-Fay communication within the iFay ecosystem.
MCP lets AI use tools. A2A lets Agents pass messages. TP lets Fays achieve telepathy — establishing shared cognitive spaces within authorized trust boundaries, enabling zero-ambiguity intent transfer through session-level sharing of memory, views, rules, and reasoning engines.
认知共享协议 — TP 不是又一个 agent-to-agent 通信协议，而是让 Fay 在授权信任边界内建立共享认知空间的协议。MCP 让 AI 能用工具，A2A 让 Agent 能传话，TP 让 Fay 能"心灵相通"。
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Transport Agnosticism | TP messages can travel over A2A, MCP, API, or Prompt — TP cares about semantics, not transport |
| Protocol Negotiation | Adaptive bridging when Fays speak different protocol languages, ensuring intent is never lost in translation |
| Shared Context | Session-level sharing of memory fragments, view states, rules, and reasoning engines within trust boundaries |

| TP | Telepathy Protocol | Fay-to-Fay cognitive sharing |
| CAP | Control Authority Protocol | Hardware/client takeover |
| SSP | Skill Sharing Protocol | Feed-based skill discovery |
| DTP | Data Tunnel Protocol | OS/hardware-to-Fay data channel |
| FP | Faying Protocol | Human-iFay identity binding |
