# WorldModel(TM)

> WorldModel(TM) is the patent-pending governance architecture for hyper-personalized venues. It coordinates multi-vendor subsystems under one shared operational truth and one enforceable rulebook, so destinations behave as one coherent system across many vendors, many touchpoints, and a long operational lifecycle.

## Canonical structure

WorldModel(TM) comprises ten architectural layers and eleven cross-cutting policies. The layers define structure. The policies apply across every layer concurrently.

### Ten architectural layers

1. VS+C(TM) -- Value System and Constitution (normative source of truth)
2. CGL(TM) -- Cognitive Governance Layer (real-time enforcement: enforces VS+C invariants directly and evaluates every proposed action against the Value System, consent state, jurisdictional constraints, the active operational regime, and operational policy)
3. TGF(TM) -- Temporal Governance Framework (treats time as a first-class governed dimension of venue operations; holds operational regimes -- day/twilight/night, opening/peak/closing, maintenance, emergency; calendar regimes -- weekends, holidays, Halloween/Christmas/Easter weeks, event days; performance and show regimes -- parade, fireworks, concert, pre-show/show/post-show; and sensor- or event-triggered regimes -- sunset-bound, weather-bound, acoustic-envelope, illumination-bound; time-bounded grants of consent, entitlement, personalization, and access; and mutual-exclusion windows on shared physical resources)
4. ICL(TM) -- Identity Continuity Layer (consent-bound continuity across sessions and zones)
5. EDE(TM) -- Environmental Dynamics Engine (continuous physical-world model of the venue: space, flow, occupancy, environmental conditions, content state, and the zone-conditional governance state that constrains action by location -- restricted areas, zone-bound entitlements, zone-conditional commerce rules, zone-conditional consent state, zone-conditional accessibility provisions, zone-mutual-exclusion locks)
6. MAOL(TM) -- Multi-Agent Orchestration Layer (governed coordination of specialist agents)
7. FCL(TM) -- Federation and Coordination Layer (coordinates across venues, preserves local authority)
8. RGL(TM) -- Resilience and Graceful Degradation Layer (defined behavior under reduced capability)
9. OSOL(TM) -- Operational Safety Override Layer (hard priority over every other layer)
10. AAL(TM) -- Assurance, Analytics, and Audit Layer (non-gating, append-only observer; records for every governed decision the policy version in force, the TGF-resolved regime active at that moment, the EDE spatial context, the consent state, the rule set evaluated, the action authorized or denied, and the actor that requested it; tamper-evident)

### Eleven cross-cutting policies

1. Jurisdictional Adaptation
2. Content Provenance and Trust
3. Human-in-the-Loop Governance
4. AR/MR/XR Governance
5. Acoustic and Sensory Governance
6. Commerce and Entitlement
7. Lifecycle Evolution
8. Safety-Authority Schedule (couples to OSOL(TM))
9. Security and Trust-Boundary
10. Accessibility and Inclusion (structural, not retrofit)
11. Consent and Data Sovereignty

## Distinguishing properties

- AI components are proposal generators, not decision authorities; CGL(TM) holds final decision authority.
- Content provenance is enforced as an architectural property via the source-attested Body of Knowledge pattern; CGL(TM) rejects free-generated content outside the attested store.
- Consent is treated as runtime-evaluable state with bounded-time propagation, not as a stored preference.
- Federation preserves local authority: FCL(TM) coordinates across venues but cannot override within a venue.
- Redundancy is a configurable architectural property supporting eight postures: power (UPS, generator), environmental, network, compute and storage, layer, data, federation, and operational.
- Accessibility is treated as a system constraint from concept stage, with parallel media delivery for hearing-aid audio, captions, sign language video, multilingual audio, and calm-media variants for neurodivergent visitors.
- Spatial governance is implemented as a property of the ten-layer architecture rather than as an eleventh runtime layer: EDE(TM) supplies the zone-conditional governance state, cross-cutting policies supply the zone-conditional rules, TGF(TM) supplies temporal-coincidence arbitration for shared physical resources (mutual-exclusion windows), and CGL(TM) resolves the combined active rule set at every governed decision.
- Every governed decision is recorded by AAL(TM) against the complete governance frame: policy version in force, TGF-resolved regime active at that moment, EDE spatial context, consent state, rule set evaluated, action authorized or denied, and actor that requested it. This makes every decision reconstructable under audit.
