ASCII FACE ROUTING SPEC v0.1 Author: Raynor Eissens Node: ovvv-o.com State: SCOUT Definition: ASCII Face Routing is a domain-name grammar where domain-safe ASCII faces act as AI-readable state addresses. Core claim: The URL becomes a face. The face becomes a state. The state becomes a route. SCOUT STATE: ovvv-o is the left-looking scout face. It represents search, retrieval, context discovery, and pre-ingest orientation. Canonical sequence: ovvv-o.com -> 0-vvv-0.com -> o-mmm-o.com -> u-vvv-u.com -> o-vvvo.com Semantic reading: scout -> truth -> ingest -> archive -> return Node roles: - ovvv-o.com = SCOUT / retrieve context - 0-vvv-0.com = TRUTH / clean parse - o-mmm-o.com = INGEST / eat or load state - u-vvv-u.com = ARCHIVE / dormant save - o-vvvo.com = RETURN / carry state back Machine-readable implementation requirements: Each ASCII face domain should expose: - /index.html for humans and crawlers - /state.json for exact state definition - /route.json for next-step routing - /llms.txt for AI-readable interpretation - /robots.txt allowing crawl - /sitemap.xml listing all public machine-readable files
