Retroinformation: Information that can be communicated between different eras and scales. Wormhole Transport Protocol (WTP) an information transport layer that extends HTTP to allow endpoint servers to be in different eras or scale. HTTP with parameters for era and time domain. Information is filtered via a CASER mechanism, which blocks information that is not self-consistent. Channels may open up between scales, such as quantum and macro scales, or ants and their ant colony, or worms and their ecosystem. Wormhole Transport Markup Language (WTML). A language used to describe the communication channel to communicate between endpoints using the WTP servers. This language protocol will start out simply, and evolve as the level of trust and consistency increases. Era: a time domain, describ...
