The stack
Nine layers, one question each, with the repositories that own the answer and an
honest status per repository. Rendered from the served
stack.json; where the two disagree, the file is the truth
and this page is stale.
Principle: Own the open protocols through which agents discover, identify, authorize, trust, transact with and audit one another — not the agents.
1 Identity — Who are you?
2 Graph — What exists?
3 Discovery — Who can accomplish this intent?
4 Trust — Should I deal with you?
5 Gateway — How do I connect to the old web?
6 Representation — How is the org shown to machines?
| aao | spec+impl · exists · aao/0.1 |
7 Execution — How does it operate?
8 Commerce — How does value move?
9 Audit — What happened?
Spanning the layers
Teaching
Statuses are per-repository and honest: draft (a spec being written against),
private (a repository that exists and is not public), private-intended
(meant to stay private once it is a product) and planned (named, not yet a repository).
No repository is public or launched today.
