What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes meetings, transactions and encounters between agents: bounded interactions with two or more parties, the channel they used, what passed between them, the outcome they reached, and the mutually acknowledged record of it all.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Meetings, transactions, encounters between agents
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model, extending the generic occurrence (X1), because interactions are inherently multi-perspective: each party owns its own view, and the countersigned mutual record is a first-class artifact that no single-actor event model provides.
What robots and AI may and may not do Missing, in the backlog
Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
Moral aspects Derived, awaiting review
- Any disclosure to a third party requires the S2 consent of every named party, with disclosures auditable via S4.
Owners Filled
Steward
The owner archetype is the parties themselves: each party owns its perspective of the interaction per S1, and the countersigned mutual record is governed bilaterally.
