What the system can do, plane by plane.
The architecture says what must be true. This section says what the system can do, plane by plane. Each plane is a capability the whole ecosystem shares, built once and consumed through contracts rather than rebuilt inside every product.
Capability planes are not products. A product is a place where work happens and a domain stays coherent. A plane is a horizontal ability that every product draws on, which is why a community gains all of it the moment it adopts any part of the system.
The ten planes
How the system is used
Interface composition
screens assembled from small governed parts, declared rather than hand-built. In buildDomain services
the working capabilities of an organization, each keeping the integrity of its own subject. In buildEvents and data
a common event backbone and typed records, so what happened is written once and read everywhere. Running
How the system thinks and acts
Agentic operations
software that acts on delegated authority, inside the same rules people work under. In buildKnowledge and memory
a system that can describe itself, remember what was decided, and answer questions about its own shape. In buildCollection and evidence
watching the outside world on a schedule and keeping the proof of what changed. In buildModels and inference
reasoning capacity the community can own, route, train, and evaluate. In build
What it all stands on
Infrastructure substrate
compute, storage, network, and delivery a community can hold. RunningPhysical automation
the loop between a decision in software and an action in the world. Early buildDelivery and assurance
how a change becomes a released, verified, reversible fact. Running
Each plane is described here on its own terms. To see several of them working at once on one ordinary problem, read the use cases.
Why the planes matter to a community
Capability compounds instead of duplicating
When collection, reasoning, events, and identity are shared planes, a new domain arrives with all of them already working. Communities stop paying for the same machinery once per tool.
Every plane carries the same guarantees
Identity, policy, audit, and migration reach into every plane, so the promises made on the front page are not thinner in the parts nobody looks at.
Breadth stays legible
A large system earns trust only if it can still be explained. Each plane has one job, a stated boundary, and a public contract, which is what keeps scale from becoming opacity.
