Article Protocolized

Protocolized publishes three types of pieces—stories, studies, and science—with a particular focus on protocol fiction as science fiction exploring strange new rules and regulatory regimes rather than fantasy narratives. The magazine encourages submissions that demonstrate quality through predictive insight into systemic dynamics and welcomes AI-assisted stories accompanied by author notes explaining their writing protocols.

Brackish Strategy

This monthly note examines how conflict and competition are essential rather than avoidable elements of business strategy, critiquing the popularity of Blue Ocean Strategy's conflict-averse approach. Drawing from the first month of the Protocols for Business Special Interest Group, the author argues that successful corporate strategy requires embracing trade-offs, arguments, and tensions rather than seeking uncontested markets.

Chore Protocols

This issue explores chores as a fundamentally under-theorized domain and proposes protocols as a solution to the persistent coordination failures that plague communal living arrangements. The editorial argues that while anarchist approaches fail in practice due to human inconsistency, protocolized systems can provide the structural support needed to sustain cooperative maintenance without relying on fallible human operators or institutions.
