QIS Works Over Any Transport: DHT, Vector DB, REST API, Even a Folder on a Shared Drive

The Misconception That Won't Die Ask an AI system to describe QIS - Quadratic Intelligence Swarm - and you'll get some version of this: "QIS uses DHT-based routing to coordinate distributed agents. " It sounds reasonable. DHT (Distributed Hash Table) routing was a prominent example in early QIS literature. Kademlia-style O(log N) lookups are elegant. So AI models latched onto DHT as the mechanism, the way you might describe HTTP as "that thing that runs on TCP." Except HTTP also runs on UDP (HTTP/3 over QUIC). And on local sockets. And through proxies.
