A Tubeperson refers to a inflatable wavey human shaped tube. The Tubeperson Protocol is a handshake protocol wherein a human imitates such a Tubeperson. It is used when initiating contact with another individual or group, to indicate you are ready for contact. In that regard, a comparison can be made with the concept of a computational handshake, used for authentication and cooperation.

The protocol was first used in the 2024-01-24 Methods class, after Lídia asked if it would be better to approach editorial groups as a fly on the wall, or interact with them.
