Field notes
The protocol models each community as a domain that publishes an HTTPS `/ack.json` document containing acknowledged domains. Delegation allows one domain to publish acknowledgements for another, with revocation available at any time. The resulting relationships can be followed as a graph from a selected node under chosen rules. The specification draws a firm boundary around the signal: acknowledgement is not presented as endorsement, agreement, alliance, or verification.
