TP₁ — The Transparency Protocol: Post-Chromatic Interaction Grammar for AmbientOS

TP₁ defines the first post-chromatic interaction grammar within the AmbientOS stack. Where AP₁ introduces the chromatic field model and AP₂ establishes dedicated ambient hardware, TP₁ describes interaction without color through density-based presence gradients. The protocol specifies how agency, intent, and system response are encoded through non-linguistic, non-visual interaction variables: D₁ (Density), P₁ (Porosity), T₁ (Translucency), and Y₁ (Yield). TP₁ extends the A-layer into transparency, enabling human–AI co-presence in environments where the chromatic field becomes background infrastructure rather than foreground signal. This document formalizes TP₁ as the canonical successor to AP₂ within the Ambient Era Canon.
