What does this topic answer?
The machine format fixes version, geometry units, coordinate direction, and uncertainty recording so different implementers can interpret the same embodiment data.
Story relation: The story directly uses the Galatea protocol and related embodiment technology, providing a narrative anchor for this standard. Algorithmic Love and the Centenarian Skin

If you only need the worldbuilding context, you can stop here. The sections below contain formal definitions, fields, governance, and implementation details for deeper reference.
Developer / Machine Specification
The material below is the Galatea 1.0 implementation contract. General readers only need the distinction: the JSON Schema defines the permitted data shape, while the Reference Example demonstrates the fields actually emitted by a synthetic neutral reference. A Layer absent from the example is not forbidden; it simply was not emitted by that reference.
