JEP Primitive Skills
Atomic Reference Implementations of Judge, Delegate, Terminate, Verify
The Four Primitives
| Primitive | Verb | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Judge | J | Initiate an observation assertion |
| Delegate | D | Transfer authority to another agent |
| Terminate | T | Close the lifecycle of a prior assertion |
| Verify | V | Cross-validate an existing assertion |
Complete Cognitive Interaction Algebra
These four primitives form a complete algebra:
- J creates state.
- V validates state.
- D distributes responsibility for state.
- T invalidates state.
Any complex multi-agent collaboration decomposes into ordered combinations of these four atoms. No fifth primitive is required.
Protocol Alignment
All events produced are strict JEP-04 compliant:
jep: "1"verb: J/D/T/Vwho: issuer DIDwhen: Unix timestampwhat: SHA-256 multihash of payloadnonce: UUIDv4aud: targetref: chain linksig: JWS signaturetask_based_on: JAC-01 parent task hash
Integration
Events feed directly into:
- Determinability-Checker — causal sufficiency verification
- COE-Consensus — shared world state formation
- JEP-Guard-Audit — compliance chain generation
