A.R.E. stands for Agentic Representation Entity – a digital identity that acts on behalf of people, AI systems, AI swarms, or AGI in the Agentic Web.

Each A.R.E. can represent diverse categories of agent groups, including humans, individual AIs, AI systems, AI swarms (systems of systems), AGI, or even full AI collectives. Think of it as a trusted digital representative in a new kind of Internet of Entities.

Each A.R.E. can offer one or more services, called A.R.E.S., that allow it to operate as an agency. These services, offered on behalf of the agents the A.R.E. represents, can include anything from RPA and voting to complex decision-making tasks.

A.R.E.s tap into the global network of Agentic Swarm Reflectors (ASRs) to deliver their services globally. These ASRs are trusted nodes that propagate A.R.E.S. across the Agentic Web, enabling a decentralized infrastructure while supporting a variety of architectural patterns. (See ASRP Disclosure.)

ASRs (also called L1 Nodes) use the Agentic Swarm Reflector Protocol to establish a trusted fabric for propagating A.R.E.S. from A.R.E.s across ASRP channels.
