Jellen Protocol Lab
Jellen Protocol Lab is an independent research practice focused on systems whose inherited rules no longer fit present conditions. The Lab develops protocols, institutional mechanisms, implementation models, and other structured research artifacts for how those systems might operate differently.
Its work spans protocol infrastructure, labor and economic systems, public mechanisms, media platforms, institutional redesign, and public-memory research. Projects range from standards-oriented technical systems to policy mechanisms, simulations, implementation frameworks, and long-form analytical work.
The Universal Sports Graph (USG) is the Lab's flagship protocol program, defining a neutral framework for representing sports rights, entitlement structures, and interoperable distribution through published RFCs, JSON schemas, a versioned registry, and reference infrastructure.
Outputs include RFC-style protocol specifications, registries, DOI-backed research papers, simulations, implementation frameworks, institutional models, and other structured research artifacts. Publications use explicit versioning, status markers, and public review surfaces where appropriate.
This page represents Lab v0.1. The Lab is intentionally small and independent. At this stage, it publishes research artifacts, specifications, models, and implementation frameworks rather than products or services. Governance, licensing, and mandate are made explicit at the artifact level and may evolve in public as the work matures.
