# Right to Integrate
**Domain:** Interoperability / Sovereignty
**Doc Type:** Developed Wiki Node
**Maturity:** Developing
**Collection:** [[collections/War With Empire|War With Empire]]
## Definition
The **right to integrate** is the practical ability of an authorized participant to connect a new sensor, application, model, agent, or effector to a shared architecture through documented and governable interfaces.
## Significance
Integration is a sovereignty issue when access to the common operational picture determines who can contribute or act. A right to integrate is not unrestricted access: security, testing, identity, and least privilege remain necessary. The boundary is whether certification protects the arena or becomes gatekeeping without ownership.
