name: Vercy Dimension kernel
selectable: false
requiredBy:
  - vercy.preset.organizational
  - vercy.preset.personal
  - vercy.preset.reality-domain
  - vercy.preset.ai-subject
purpose: >-
  Define the smallest owner, identity, registry, policy, provenance and
  lifecycle substrate common to every Vercy Dimension.
requiredArtifacts:
  first:
    - AGENTS.md
  then:
    - dimension.yaml
    - registries/meta-models.yaml
    - registries/meta-objects.yaml
    - registries/events.yaml
    - policies/access.yaml
    - policies/lifecycle.md
    - vercy.lock
requiredDeclarations:
  - dimension identity, purpose and boundary
  - stable namespace and canonical location
  - owner, stewards, trusted agents and responsibility
  - storage and interface bindings
  - master systems and authoritative sources
  - data classification, access and projection policy
  - autonomy envelope by action and scope
  - installed model versions, URLs and digests
  - provenance, uncertainty and observation time rules
  - validation, migration, retention and deletion rules
delegationLevels:
  autonomous: Safe, reversible work inside an approved private scope.
  propose: Prepare and validate a material change without applying it.
  confirm: Ask immediately before publication, access expansion or destructive effect.
  forbidden: Do not attempt actions outside authority, policy or law.
minimumModelCapabilities:
  - identifiers and naming
  - ownership and stewardship
  - registry and event patterns
  - access, consent and projection
  - documents, evidence and provenance
rules:
  - The kernel is not a user-selectable fifth preset.
  - Keep the kernel free of domain-specific facts.
  - A binding may change without changing logical identity.
  - Every mutable assertion keeps source, observed time and uncertainty when applicable.
  - Published data and cross-boundary access require declared authority.
