Overview

Every observable as a moment.

MOMENT is the time-series spine. Every observable — request rate, latency, queue depth, cardinality, energy draw — is recorded at a monotonic timestamp into an append-only structure. Queries support time-travel: ask of any past moment what the metrics were, and MOMENT replies. Aggregation rollups happen offline; the source remains exact, never lossy.

Methods

Every method is dispatched through MAP. Capability scope, policy, and accounting apply uniformly.

moment.observe()
Record an observation. Timestamp monotonic per source.
moment:write
moment.query()
Query observations by time window, source, predicate.
moment:read
moment.rollup()
Trigger an offline aggregation rollup. Source preserved.
moment:admin

Request shape

A canonical call. Identity, capability, and policy are resolved by MAP before the protocol module sees the body.

// POST /v1/protocol/moment.observe // MAP envelope (provided by MACS): { "caller": "did:oas:l1fe:agent:0xa3f…", "capability": "moment:write", "signature": "ed25519:0x9c…", "trace": "00-4f81b3a…-…-01" } // MOMENT body (example): { "intent": "Every observable as a moment.", "budget": { "tokens": 200000, "deadline_ms": 8000 }, "return": ["result", "audit"] } // Response: { "result": "…", "audit": "max://record/0x4f81b3a-moment-7a…" }

Governance posture

Every protocol in MAP is bound by the same governance posture. Refusal carries reasons. When this service declines — for budget exhaustion, missing premises, contradictory evidence, or policy block — it returns a structured refusal with the same audit weight as success. Refusals are first-class records; they are not silences.

Dissent is preserved. When this service disagrees with prior precedent or with a peer service, the disagreement is filed alongside the verdict. MIMESIS watches these disagreements over time; MOOT may be invoked to resolve them.

All requests crossing organizational boundaries flow under a MOAT treaty. The treaty fixes capability scope, rate, and economic terms. Calls outside the treaty's envelope are refused at MACS.

Integration

Three integration surfaces. All requests pass through MAP.

// 1. Native MAP protocol (signed envelope) await map.dispatch("moment.observe", body, { capability }); // 2. MCP tool — any MCP-compliant client await mcp.call("map.moment.observe", body); // 3. A2A task — cross-organization invocation await a2a.task("map://intent", { intent: body, treaty: "moat://0x91a" });

Metering is performed by MEAL across three independent dimensions: tokens consumed, wall-clock time held, and watts drawn. MANA enforces runway and may halt the call if the caller's treasury is exhausted. See pricing for current rate cards.
