The naming of this project is quite unfortunate as it resembles the Simplex [1] specification for guiding agent development, which does look promising in comparison.

Using vector embeddings in place of a rigid API is an interesting concept, but the codebase basically leaves it as a TODO: https://github.com/olserra/agent-semantic-protocol/blob/9d15...

Strange, given that seems to be the whole premise of the project.

I think the README could use a few real use-case examples. I understand it in an abstract sense, but not sure I understand the benefit vs plain-text communication, besides saving on token spend.

Why not just use natural language?

Symplex v0.1 now features per-message Ed25519 signing! Every IntentMessage and NegotiationResponse is cryptographically signed, boosting security and trust in p2p workflows. All tests pass—roadmap milestone achieved. #Symplex #Ed25519 #security #GoLang

This is AI slop & if you can't tell from a glance then you should figure out why you believe the nonsense on this page is actually sensible.
