Group-forming protocols
We have already talked about Conversations for Action, which is a pretty well formalized human-level protocol that can also be executed by computers: .
And we have mentioned a variation that I think we called Conversation for Agreement. Those seem related to the kinds of protocols that might be used when some agents come together to form some kind of group. (Which could be some variation on @gcassel 's Agreement-Based Organization.)
I was struck in @dan-mi-sun 's RobinHood stories by the elaborate organization-forming protocols they used.
And the Patchwork gang is also talking about group-forming protocols.
So this issue is a place to collect and discuss such things.
