The Agent OSI Model - A 7-Layer Framework for AI Agent Infrastructure The OSI model didn't create networking. It created the vocabulary that made networking a discipline. Before OSI, engineers said "the connection is broken." After OSI, they said "Layer 2 link is down." AI agents have no equivalent. When an agent fails, we say "the agent broke." That's useless. I've published a 7-layer framework for agent infrastructure. Not a product. Not a standard. A vocabulary.
