Definitions

The canonical vocabulary. Each term defined once, versioned, and carrying its provenance.

Definition

Capability

A Capability is a declared, invocable action an origin can perform or vouch for. It is the origin's offer to do work, not just to display content.

Definition

Invocation

An Invocation is the successful use of a trusted capability to resolve an intent. It is the unit of value in an agentic internet. It is what Heliacon measures instead of traffic.

Definition

Origin

An Origin is the canonical source of an organisation's identity, knowledge, capability and trust. It is the single thing every other representation derives from.

Definition

Privacy

Privacy is a property of the architecture, not a promise in a policy. An origin discloses what it means to publish and nothing more.

Definition

Projection

A Projection is a representation of the origin, negotiated and rendered for a specific consumer. It is one of many faces of a single source of truth.

Definition

Provenance

Provenance is the verifiable record of where knowledge and capability came from. It lets a claim or a result be trusted rather than merely asserted.

Definition

Sovereignty

Sovereignty is control of your own origin. You own the source, the canonical address and the right to be the place your identity is read from.
