One question

What does A2UI solve?

Render agent-provided interface descriptions through client-supported components.

A2UI describes interfaces declaratively and updates components and application state through messages. A client supplies the component catalog and renders the descriptions. Structure and state are separated. Official overview

A booking form can bind a name field to a data-model path. A2UI uses JSON Pointer for such data locations, so describing it as “pictures without addresses” would be incorrect. Data binding

For an AFS-UI comparison, ask what the address refers to: a value in an interface data model, or a working environment spanning resources and operations? This is an architectural comparison of boundaries, not a claim to exclusive ownership of paths.

For a worked scenario, change a poll from a chart to a table. It locates the data, action, authorization and second display in each design.

Does A2UI have data paths?

Yes. It connects interfaces to a data model through mechanisms including JSON Pointer. Compare their scope and operational meaning.
