82+
83+ The Python code in this repository is the Reference Implementation of Reticulum.
84+ The Reticulum Protocol is defined entirely and authoritatively by this reference
85+ implementation, and its associated manual. It is maintained by Mark Qvist,

88+ Compatibility with the Reticulum Protocol is defined as having full interoperability,
89+ and sufficient functional parity with this reference implementation. Any specific protocol
90+ implementation that achieves this is Reticulum. Any that does not is not Reticulum.
