Canonical Terminology
Draft| Term | Canonical Public Meaning |
|---|---|
| Axodus | A governed modular ecosystem and operational infrastructure connecting specialized nuclei, participants, authority, products, and evidence-producing lifecycles. |
| Nucleus | A bounded responsibility domain for a product, operation, control, or shared capability. It is not automatically an active service. |
| Tenant | A bounded local governance domain operating under shared constitutional and portfolio constraints. It is not generic SaaS tenancy. |
| Governance | The rules, roles, processes, and evidence through which authorized decisions are proposed, reviewed, approved, executed, suspended, or reversed. |
| Authority | The formally assigned right to decide or act within a defined scope. Documentation, software, agents, and request existence do not create authority. |
| Runtime | The state, handoff, validation, incident, and receipt model that coordinates work. A runtime model is not proof of production automation. |
| Trinity | An ACS-associated advisory role for planning, decomposition, estimation, operational analysis, and risk context. Trinity is not a final approver or autonomous executor. |
| ACS | The Axodus coordination and protection surface for analysis, policy checks, alerts, local holds, recommendations, and receipts. |
| Proof of Knowledge | A proposed, non-cryptographic-by-default model for scoped learning or qualification evidence. It is not automatically certification, anti-sybil proof, governance eligibility, or token authorization. |
| Publication | An authorized release to a defined audience. Draft existence is not publication approval. |
| Activation | An explicit authority and technical transition that enables a bounded capability. Code or architecture alone is not activation. |
Status Dimensions
Do not use one status to represent all maturity dimensions:
- Document maturity: draft, reviewed, approved, deprecated.
- Concept maturity: directional, defined, governed.
- Implementation maturity: absent, represented, prototype-verified, implemented.
- Authority state: conceptual, represented, active-if-verified, authorized, suspended, blocked.
- Production state: not enabled, sandbox, limited, production.
- Publication state: private, draft, approved, public.
Words such as current, active, operational, implemented, validated, ready, and production must identify the dimension they describe.
Prohibited Interpretations
Do not use guaranteed profit, passive income guarantee, risk-free yield, guaranteed token appreciation, unrestricted autonomous AI, finalized legal approval, or security guarantee.
