Planes
Functional domains, not ranked. Identity, Cognition, Truth, Governance, Execution, Economic, Awareness.
Services are grouped into seven functional planes. The planes are functional, not ranked — Identity is not "more important" than Awareness. They are seven categories that together describe everything an institution needs.
I — Identity
Who you are. What you may do.
The first question MAP asks of every caller. Identity verification and capability derivation happen before any other plane fires.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MACS | Hybrid | The single port of entry. Verifies signatures, derives capability sets. |
OAS | Adapter | Vendor-neutral W3C-DID identity standard. |
Arsenal | Adapter | Agent Capability Tokens, credential proxy with SSRF guard. |
Aegis | Adapter | Challenge-response auth, key management, delegation trees. |
The single MAP service in this plane is MACS. The other three are external standards MAP consumes through adapters.
II — Cognition
What you know. What you may reason about.
Substrate and faculty for thought. Cognition services hold the institution's memory and reasoning capacity.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MIND | Hybrid | The cognitive substrate. 4 memory types, HNSW search, knowledge graph. |
MARC | Agent | Hierarchical reasoning, causal analysis, model publishing. |
MANTLE | Hybrid | Perception, consolidation, EWC continual learning. |
MAME | Agent | Meta-learning. Curatorial edits to MIND with provenance. |
III — Truth
What is verified. What is trusted.
The institution's ledger of confidence. Truth services evaluate claims, weight sources, score reliability.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MAVEN | Agent | Evidence verification via GLYPH. Claims-as-graphs, contradiction preservation. |
MATA | Agent | Bayesian opinion pooling across heterogeneous sources. |
MARE | Hybrid | Reputation built from outcomes. Stake-weighted, decay over time. |
MERIT | Agent | Composable credentials from verified history. Selective ZK presentation. |
MANTIC | Agent | Calibration scoring, reliability budgets, uncertainty quantification. |
MAGI | Agent | Mechanistic interpretability. Activation tracing, feature attribution. |
IV — Governance
How decisions are made. How they bind.
Governance services are how the institution decides — not reasons, decides. The line between MARC (thinking) and MACE (ruling) lives here.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MOAT | Protocol | Treaty-based federation. Two charters meeting at a boundary. |
MAXIM | Agent | Constitutional reasoning. Mandate interpretation and enforcement. |
MACE | Agent | Consensus voting. Quorum-driven deliberation; dissent on record. |
MOOT | Hybrid | Dispute resolution & arbitration. Binding rulings recorded forever. |
MIMESIS | Agent | Convention, custom, precedent. Slow accretion of common law. |
MAUSOLEUM | Agent | Dissolution. Archive. Succession of obligation. |
V — Execution
How work gets done. How it stays done.
Execution services are the institution's hands. They reach out to tools, devices, and durable workflows.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MOON | Agent | Durable orchestration via Flowers. Manifests, deployments, replay. |
MAESTRO | Agent | Charter declaration, goal refinement, plan commit/diff/replan. |
MAT | Protocol | Tool dispatch, discovery, workflow execution. |
MAKER | Agent | Kinetic action with emergency stop. Native/MCP/A2A/HTTP unified. |
MOTE | Hybrid | Sensors, actuators, vehicles, fabrication. Physical-world bridge. |
MAGE | Agent | Generation engine via ONE/MUSE. Drafts charters, treaties, blueprints. |
VI — Economic
How value flows. How it settles.
Economic services let the institution earn, spend, and clear. MEAL meters; MANA budgets; MARKET trades; MADE settles.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MADE | Protocol | Settlement layer. x402, multi-rail, basis-point clearing. |
MARKET | Agent | Orderbooks, auctions, bounties, trades. |
MANA | Agent | Negotiation, arbitration, treasury. Bidding, reputation, arbitration channels. |
MEAL | Hybrid | Metering. Tokens · seconds · watts. Triple-entry ledger. |
VII — Awareness
How the institution sees itself.
Awareness services let the institution observe itself. Every audit record, every metric, every relationship, every research finding flows here.
| Service | Kind | Role |
|---|---|---|
MAX | Protocol | The constitutional record. Hash-chained, replayable, queryable. |
MOTIF | Protocol | Pattern detection across traces and audit. |
MOMENT | Protocol | Time-series. Append-only, monotonic, time-travel queryable. |
MOTET | Protocol | Multi-stream telemetry. Logs, metrics, traces, attestations. |
MARS | Protocol | Universal registry. Every asset of standing. |
MAZE | Agent | Topology + ZK proofs of structural properties. |
MARI | Agent | Research & inquiry. Literature synthesis, hypothesis testing. |
MIM | Protocol | Messaging. Mailbox semantics. QoS. |
How planes interact
Every successful dispatch produces a record. Records record decisions; decisions reference identity, evidence, policy, treasury. Cross-plane references are the rule, not the exception. A typical MARC reasoning call:
- Identity:
MACSverifies the caller (Plane I) - Cognition:
MINDsnapshot bound for reasoning (Plane II) - Truth:
MAVENattestation on every premise (Plane III) - Governance:
MAXIMpolicy bound;MACEmay be invoked if the verdict is structural (Plane IV) - Execution:
MATinvoked if reasoning recommends a tool (Plane V) - Economic:
MEALmeters the call;MANAenforces runway (Plane VI) - Awareness:
MAXrecords;MOTETtraces;MOMENTtracks latency (Plane VII)
The legitimacy of the verdict comes from every plane firing in support. A reasoning result without an audit chain is not a verdict — it is a guess.
