Summary

MOCK is a novel protocol designed to revolutionize live media delivery by applying principles of Newtonian physics to packet transport, treating media fragments as kinetic particles with mass and velocity within a probabilistic network field. Unlike traditional protocols such as RTP over UDP or QUIC, MOCK employs a Conjectural Kinetics Layer (CKL) that computes trajectory envelopes for media particles, allowing for predictive momentum and extremely low latency by reconstructing streams before full delivery. This approach uses Entropy-Normalized Bit Mass (ENBM) to maintain consistent kinetic behavior across various codecs and resolutions, optimizing transport for different types of content without traditional adaptive bitrate switching. By perceiving the network as a dynamic field rather than a series of static routes, MOCK allows packets to flow according to optimal trajectories recalculated in real-time, enhancing efficiency and reliability, particularly across globally distributed relays. This represents a significant shift from viewing media transport as transactional to understanding it as an energetic propagation through a dynamic system, with plans for open-source release and community involvement to further develop and refine the protocol.
