Core Concepts

Seven layers, one ladder. Each concept assumes the one before it — read them in order the first time, then use them as reference. Start with the Introduction if you have not yet.

1. 1PassportPortable, device-rooted cryptographic identity for humans and agents — the first answer every governed call composes.
2. 2Capability GraphEvidence-backed truth about what each identity can actually do — revelation, not exclusion. The routing substrate for humans and agents.
3. 3DelegationsScoped, expiring, revocable grants of authority between Passports — the answer to "who allowed this?" on every governed call.
4. 4HumanOSThe enforcement layer: your policies, checked on every call across humans and agents. A framework for your decisions, not ours.
5. 5ProvenanceSigned, inspectable, contestable receipts for every governed decision — the Ledger record that answers "what happened?"
6. 6WorkforceHumans in the execution path as a protocol primitive — qualified people, full context, durable records. Live in-org today.
7. 7AcademyCapability development on the same graph production routing reads. The engine is live; the guided learner surface is early — building toward, stated plainly.
