    <abstract>
      <t>This document specifies the High-Frequency Action-Integrity Protocol (HAIP), a standard for real-time identity verification and autonomous resilience in AI agent environments. HAIP addresses the "Trust Tax" and the "Integrity Gap" by mandating a 6.42 us pulse, decentralized identity teleportation, and NIST-aligned non-repudiation.</t>

      <name>Introduction</name>
      <t>As the AI economy shifts from "Human-to-AI" to "Agent-to-Agent" workflows, the primary security threat is Identity Spoofing. In this environment, identity is the only perimeter. HAIP provides a unified Root of Trust to secure these interactions at scale.</t>
