# Public-to-Hyperscale Access Stack **Domain:** Ontology / Architecture / Infrastructure / AI **Doc Type:** Canonical Navigation Hub **Maturity:** Developed ## Purpose The **Public-to-Hyperscale Access Stack** maps how a behavioral expectation can harden across social, legal, material, infrastructural and computational layers. It is a navigational ontology, not a claim that later layers replace earlier ones. ## Canonical Spine 1. [[wiki/Custom|Custom]] — inherited practice. 2. [[wiki/Social Norm|Social Norm]] — shared expectation. 3. [[wiki/Informal Enforcement|Informal Enforcement]] — distributed sanction. 4. [[wiki/Law as Spatial Logic|Law]] — formal permission and prohibition. 5. [[wiki/Jurisdiction|Jurisdiction]] — authority to decide. 6. [[wiki/Property|Property]] — recognized control and exclusion. 7. [[wiki/Boundary|Boundary]] — distinction between domains. 8. [[wiki/Threshold|Threshold]] — conditional state transition. 9. [[wiki/Access Geometry|Access]] — topology of admissible action. 10. [[wiki/Architecture as Policy|Architecture]] — rules materialized as built form. 11. [[wiki/Public Space Ontology|Public Space]] — shared civic topology. 12. [[wiki/Infrastructure as Executable Social Order|Infrastructure]] — persistent flows and dependencies. 13. [[wiki/Telemetry|Instrumentation]] — physical state made machine-readable. 14. [[wiki/Cyber-Physical System|Cyber-Physical System]] — sensing joined to actuation. 15. [[wiki/Control Plane|Control Plane]] — policy and desired state coordinated above execution. 16. [[wiki/Operational Representation|Operational Representation]] — consequential machine-readable counterpart. 17. [[wiki/Digital Twin|Digital Twin]] — synchronized, predictive operational model. 18. [[wiki/AI Factory|AI Factory]] — computation joined to power, cooling, storage and fabric. 19. [[wiki/Agent Interoperability|Agent Interoperability]] — delegated machine actors coordinate across systems. 20. [[wiki/Model-Space Sovereignty|Model Space]] — authority over schemas, variables and intervention rules. 21. [[wiki/Computational Ecology|Planetary Computational Ecology]] — interoperable systems operating across institutions and Earth systems. 22. [[wiki/Multiscale Stewardship|Constitutional Stewardship]] — coordination constrained by rights, correction and preservation of local competence. ## Continuity Branch The twenty-two-stage spine reaches the point where infrastructure can sustain identity-bearing processes. From there, the continuity branch is: **[[wiki/Digital Thread|provenance]] → [[wiki/Continuity Registry|registry]] → [[wiki/Continuity Custody|custody]] → [[wiki/Continuity Service Obligation|positive obligation]] → [[wiki/Existence by Scheduling|existential allocation]] → [[wiki/Migration Right|migration and exit]] → [[wiki/Continuity Receivership|provider resolution]] → [[wiki/Treaty-Backed Custody|sovereign succession]] → [[wiki/Continuity Constitutionalism|constitutional order]].** This is a branch, not stages 23 through 31 of a universal technology ladder. It applies when a represented or executable entity becomes a claimant whose persistence depends on the stack. ## Reading Rule At every layer ask: what boundary is created, what state becomes legible, what flow is regulated, who can revise the rule and how a subject can contest an error. This preserves continuity without flattening law, architecture, control engineering and artificial intelligence into one vocabulary. ## Related Ontology [[articles/Cyber-Physical Lessons from Imperial Beekeeping|Cyber-Physical Lessons from Imperial Beekeeping]] · [[wiki/Affordance Engineering|Affordance Engineering]] · [[wiki/Infrastructure as Governance|Infrastructure as Governance]] · [[wiki/Representational Authority|Representational Authority]]
