Shoonya Protocol

A minimal deterministic machine receipt grammar.

Shoonya defines a fixed 58-byte canonical record for agent identity and payload anchoring.

No JSON. No optional fields. No chain dependency. Stateless verification.

Why Shoonya

Fixed-length canonical encoding (58 bytes)
Deterministic replay and dispute resolution
Chain-neutral anchoring
Firmware-safe, minimal parsing surface
