signalan
Signalan is a theoretical construct in signaling theory and digital communications used to describe a modular signaling layer that sits between the transport and application layers in a multi-agent system. The term is used in academic and speculative discussions to denote a standardized set of control messages that coordinate capabilities, synchronization, and flow control without conveying user data. The name combines signal with a suffix suggesting a system or collection.
Conceptually, Signalan defines a signaling alphabet or set of basic messages, an encoding scheme, and a stateful
Usage in literature includes illustrating how a decoupled signaling layer can improve scalability and interoperability in
