Tyndale: Semantic Addressing Protocol (Translation Yare Native Distributed Addressing Language Engine)

Notation Conventions ASCII notation is normative. Unicode notation is informative. Both encodings produce identical semantic output. The choice of representation does not alter meaning -- it demonstrates the protocol's encoding independence. This is not a modern innovation. The protocol formalizes patterns that have emerged independently across human communication systems for 60,000 years: Aboriginal songlines, medical notation (Rx), ham radio Q-codes (QTH), maritime signals (SOS), and internet shorthand (1337, TL;DR). This document specifies Tyndale, an application-layer semantic addressing protocol. Where traditional compression transmits reduced content (M -> C -> M), Tyndale transmits coordinates that the receiver expands locally (M -> A, Σ(A) -> M'). The receiver's substrate already contains the meaning; transmission provides location, not payload. The selection formula tau = (M / S) x R x G optimizes for meaning preserved per signal spent (M/S), resilience across expression systems (R), and cognitive alignment with receiver processing (G). Bandwidth-constrained environments -- disaster response networks, degraded infrastructure, deep space communications -- require semantic transmission under conditions where traditional compression fails. When every bit costs power, time, or lives, communication systems need a different primitive. Taft's teletype (1909). Voyager 1 (160 bps @ 15 billion miles). iPhone. Same protocol. Tyndale is to natural language what DNS is to IP addresses. The mathematics describes how meaning moves.
