Agentic Intent Network (AIN): A Routing-Based Architecture for AI Agent Coordination at Scale

The rapid proliferation of autonomous AI agents across enterprise and Internet-scale deployments creates a structural challenge that existing agent frameworks cannot address: how to enable any agent to discover and invoke any other agent's capabilities without pre- established bilateral integration, across organizational boundaries, at Internet scale. This document presents the Agentic Intent Network (AIN) as an architecture-level model for open, heterogeneous, dynamically evolving multi-agent coordination. It defines problem drivers, architectural and underlay requirements, architectural components, design invariants, scope boundaries, and a research agenda for the NMRG. Engineering protocol details are intentionally out of scope.
