The passage around this formula

Mechanism. The layer-by-layer convergence already visible today — MCP stabilising for tool invocation under the Agentic AI Foundation, a comparable pattern for agent-to-agent coordination under Agent2Agent’s Linux Foundation governance, and further function-specific layers like the Agentic Commerce Protocol each settling into their own reference implementation [ 2 , 3 , 14 ] — continues until each function has one dominant, neutrally governed standard rather than several competing ones. In parallel, formal-verification techniques of the kind sketched in current certified-runtime-safety research mature from a narrow theoretical result into deployed practice, and registries begin publishing…
