The canonical structured overview of ten architectural layers and eleven cross-cutting policies that constitute WorldModel™ as a governance architecture for hyper-personalized venues. This document is the single source of truth referenced by the companion books, the architecture page, and all derivative materials.

WorldModel™ comprises ten architectural layers. Each layer has a defined role, an enforceable interface, and a precedence relationship to the others. OSOL™ takes hard priority over all other layers when invoked.
VS+C™ is the normative source. CGL™ is the runtime enforcer. TGF™ is the temporal keeper. ICL™ and EDE™ ground personalization in identity and environment. MAOL™ orchestrates execution. FCL™ federates across operators and jurisdictions. RGL™ defines safe degradation. OSOL™ overrides everything when safety demands it. AAL™ makes the entire system reconstructable.
Remove any one layer and the system loses legitimacy, safety, continuity, or auditability. The ten are not optional features. They are the architecture.
Cross-cutting policies are rules and enforcement mechanisms that operate across multiple layers. They are never called layers, never called concerns, and never treated as auxiliary. They are how the architecture handles the realities that no single layer can own.
These eleven are policies: rules and enforcement mechanisms that operate across layers. They are never called layers, because they do not occupy a layer. They are never called concerns, because that word reduces them to topics rather than enforceable behaviors. The naming is deliberate and locked.
WorldModel™ is patent-pending in its entirety. Predecessor and adjacent technologies are covered by issued patents, including Alice® Body of Knowledge, ListenAssist™, and AV++®.
