The plain-English version
A named publish/subscribe interface for a stream of typed messages in systems such as ROS.
Why it matters
It connects producers and consumers of ongoing observations or state.
Let’s make it click
A simulated sensor publishes measurements to a topic consumed by a visualizer.
Vibe Bro’s heads-up
A matching topic name is insufficient if message types or communication policies are incompatible; check the complete interface contract.

Supported: ROS topics provide typed publish/subscribe streams; matching names alone do not establish type/QoS compatibility.
