Protocol Triggers Examples

Example reactive decision triggers for distributed computing protocols, demonstrating trigger-response patterns within the CGT framework.

Example Protocol-Specific Reactive Decisions

Trigger Type	Specific Trigger	Past Context	Available Actions	Policy Type
Entry	resource_need_identified	Resource requirements, budget, market conditions	Broadcast request, Direct negotiation, Wait, Resolve internally	Learned model for market entry
Entry	market_opportunity_detected	Available resources, utilization, competition	Broadcast availability, Target buyers, Wait, Keep idle	Learned model for offering
Entry	negotiation_invite_received	Invite details, sender reputation, alternatives	Accept, Decline, Negotiate terms, Request info	Learned model for invitation response
Entry	task_available	Task specs, payment, deadline, resource match	Accept task, Reject, Negotiate terms, Queue	Learned model for task acceptance
Continuation	negotiation_round_complete	Current offers, rounds elapsed, alternatives	Continue, Accept, Counteroffer, Exit	Learned model for negotiation continuation
Continuation	timeout_warning	Time remaining, progress, alternatives	Continue, Accelerate, Switch, Accept timeout	Learned model for timeout response
Continuation	partial_result_received	Result quality, progress, investment	Continue, Request improvements, Accept, Restart	Learned model for execution oversight
Disclosure	information_request	Info requested, requester, strategic value	Provide, Partial, Refuse, Negotiate	Learned model for info disclosure
Disclosure	reputation_query	Query source, depth, stakes	Full details, Summary, Decline, Redirect	Learned model for reputation management
Settlement	verification_complete	Results, payment terms, dispute costs	Execute payment, Dispute, Re-verify, Negotiate	Learned model for settlement
Settlement	payment_due	Amount, terms, cash flow, consequences	Pay, Request extension, Dispute, Default	Learned model for payment timing
Settlement	dispute_raised	Details, evidence, costs, impacts	Contest, Accept, Negotiate, Seek arbitration	Learned model for dispute resolution
Execution	computation_task_assigned	Complexity, constraints, reputation	Execute honestly, Execute dishonestly, Decline	Learned model for execution strategy
Submission	computation_complete	Quality, verification params, time	Submit result, Timeout, Request extension	Learned model for submission
Verification	result_submitted	Quality indicators, trust, costs	Accept, Challenge, Timeout, Request resubmission	Learned model for verification
Portfolio	negotiation_status_update	Portfolio state, progress, constraints	Continue, Drop, Accept, Adjust priority	Learned model for portfolio optimization
Negotiation	offer_received	Terms, reputation, alternatives, history	Accept, Reject, Counteroffer, Clarify	Learned model for bilateral negotiation

Key Protocol Composition Patterns

• Entry → Negotiation - Entry decisions lead to bilateral negotiations
• Continuation → Strategic Choice - Continuation decisions affect game outcomes
• Disclosure → Information Games - Disclosure decisions create information asymmetries
• Settlement → Closing - Settlement decisions complete protocol executions
