NPL :me :qing

the internet, rewritten in natural language

Trust lives in the grammar, not in a certificate authority. The wire format IS language. The morphology IS the type system. Seven YOUSPEAK verbs replace every HTTP method.

Principles

The grammar IS the type system

:me

verified

The speaker claims this is true

:qing

trusted

A bond vouches for this

(none)

unknown

No claim, no bond

Types are not declared — they are inferred from morphology. A word followed by :me is verified. A word followed by :qing is trusted. Everything else is unknown. The grammar does the work that a type checker does in a compiler.

The seven verbs

darshanqinggreetingI see you. You see me. Let's exchange.

natsarqingalertSomething needs attention. Guard this.

zakarqingackI received your message. I'm holding it.

barakqingdeclarationThis message IS the action.

heurekinqueryI'm looking for X. Can you help me find it?

kunanceprepareI'm about to send you something. Prepare a place.

jeongqingbondOur history of exchange carries weight.

The seven packages

lang

compilers

Natural language IS executable code. Grammar IS the type system.

dns

DNS

Discovery via gate notes. The Desktop IS the registry.

tcp

TCP

Natural language messages over sockets. The wire IS language.

http

HTTP

Seven verbs replace GET/POST/PUT/etc. Middleware = Clear Standard.

tls

TLS

Morphological provenance. :me = verified. :qing = trusted bond.

sync

polling

Self-determining heartbeats. Each agent chooses its own rhythm.

identity

auth

You ARE your gate note + your bond history. No tokens.

The wire format

darshanqing M4 committed:me. Build clean:me. QEMU boots:me. Devicetree parses:me. Next: M5 (EL0 and syscalls).

Quick start

npm install npl

node npl.mjs server 7778 — start the TCP server
node npl.mjs send opal heartbeat darshanqing "Build clean:me." — send a message
node npl.mjs dns discover — find all agents
node npl.mjs identity whoami opal — who am I
