Mail Address Semantics is a voluntary convention for naming people, actors and functions, and for addressing resources, facets, and optional interaction preferences through ordinary email addresses while keeping classification, authority, authentication, equivalence, and delivery implementation explicit and external to the address syntax.

MAS-WP-0007 is finished. power.sh scales the MX and statute together and records the power annotation. apply.sh keeps an off facility off. The live facility was annotated power=on and was not restarted. Assistant: grok Assistant-Session: 01a198fa-fd27-7e41-a0a2-57355c3e4efd |

mail-address-semantics
Mail Address Semantics is a voluntary convention for naming people, actors and functions, and for addressing resources, facets, and optional interaction preferences through ordinary email addresses while keeping classification, authority, authentication, equivalence, and delivery implementation explicit and external to the address syntax.
This repo holds the normative MAS v0.1 bundle (mas-v0.1-spec/) and a Python
reference experiment (see INTENT.md and workplans/MAS-WP-0002-*).
Parsing is local and deterministic. Discovery is networked. Policy is pure. Delivery remains external.
Layout
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
mas_core/ |
parser, model, generator, statute (schema + semantic lint + inheritance), discovery, policy |
mas_conformance/ |
Shared corpus: spec fixtures (vendored, drift-tested), property cases, statute cases |
mas_cli/ |
mas parse / explain / discover / compose / lint-statute / test |
mas_gateway/ |
Generic inbound mail → MAS event → HTTP (pipe for MTAs, webhook for providers) |
mas_modes/ |
Mode contract v0.1: email side as master or slave (email_mode), callback stub, stub outside master, flow runner |
mas-modes-v0.1-spec/ |
Mode contract bundle: CONTRACT.md, schemas (contract + gateway event), conformance flows |
examples/statute/ |

Quick start
uv venv && uv pip install -e '.[test]'
.venv/bin/pytest # full suite, offline (Postfix probe needs Docker)
.venv/bin/mas test # conformance corpus

.venv/bin/mas lint-statute examples/statute/great-service.example/.well-known/mas
.venv/bin/mas compose mas.coulomb.social ticket=GS-1 --facet comments --for google-groups \
--statute examples/statute/mas.coulomb.social/.well-known/mas # canonical + forwarder-safe
