# Actor-Neutral Runtime Coordination

A defining property of the coordination engine is actor neutrality. The same coordination framework applies regardless of whether the initiating participant is human, artificial, application-based, or physical.

* Humans interact through the Messenger.
* AI agents operate through programmable APIs and shared conversational context.
* Decentralized applications expose capabilities through conversational interfaces.
* Future autonomous systems participate through secure, verifiable communication gateways.

Every participant operates within the same identity, permission, and trust framework before actions are coordinated or executed.

This neutrality prevents fragmentation across execution environments. There is no separate "human layer," "AI layer," or "application layer" operating independently. Instead, every participant collaborates through a shared coordination runtime where communication, intelligence, identity, and decentralized infrastructure remain consistently aligned.
