Concept dictionary

Durable definitions.

Every concept below is defined in a specific paper section. Each carries its formal reference, its related concepts, and its declared limitations. Concepts are not marketing terms; they are stable identifiers used across the site's JSON-LD @graph.

• Machine Entity

  A computational subject whose identity persists across changes of context and evidence.

  geometry-intelligence-foundations §2

• Contextual Transport

  The operation by which a relation is carried from one context to another under a stated rule.

  geometry-intelligence-foundations §4

• Sovereign Reasoning

  Reasoning whose boundary of authority is explicit and inspectable.

  geometry-intelligence-foundations §5

• Valid Transformation

  A change of relational state that is permitted by a stated invariant.

  governed-relational-geometry §3

• Invariant

  A property that is required to hold across a class of permitted transformations.

  governed-relational-geometry §4

• Provenance Continuity

  The requirement that the origin of every admitted claim remains traceable across transformations.

  governed-relational-geometry §5

• Relational Geometry

  The structure formed by entities and the typed, evidence-bearing relations between them.

  governed-relational-geometry §2

• Identity Preservation

  The property that an entity remains the same entity across a change of context or evidence.

  machine-entity-comprehension §3

• Conformance Test

  An externally observable test that establishes whether a system satisfies a stated property.

  machine-entity-comprehension §4

• Black-Box Observation

  A methodology in which conclusions are drawn only from a system's external behaviour.

  machine-entity-comprehension §2

• Federation

  A bounded association of nodes that preserves each node's identity and authority.

  sovereign-web4-federation §2

• Node Identity

  A federation participant's stable identity, distinct from federation membership.

  sovereign-web4-federation §3

• Shared Facts

  Claims admitted by more than one federation node under stated conditions.

  sovereign-web4-federation §4

• Authority Boundary

  The declared limit of what an entity is entitled to conclude.

  sovereign-web4-federation §5

• Assurance Boundary

  The line separating what evidence supports from what remains a capability claim.

  evidence-governed-intelligence §2

• Capability Claim

  A statement that a system can perform some function, distinct from evidence that it did.

  evidence-governed-intelligence §3

• Evidence Structure

  The typed record of what admits a claim, addressable across transformations.

  evidence-governed-intelligence §4

• Reviewer View

  The projection of a system that shows only what an external reviewer can verify.
