Glossary

The intelligent system coordinator that manages knowledge access, policy enforcement, and decision routing across RI-ECOSYS. Routes queries through Masterbook, ri-KOS, and runtime with full governance.

The governance framework for knowledge management in RI-ECOSYS, defining lifecycle, eligibility, access identity, and traceability. See TR-002 for full specification.

The foundational model separating Reference Runtime (read-only interpretation) from Executable Runtime (state-modifying actions). Enables both analytical and operational modes with different governance requirements.

Mandatory governance checkpoint that determines whether a Knowledge Object can be used in execution. Enforced before runtime uses any knowledge. Eligibility conditions define constraints and requirements.

The LLM Enterprise profile runtime that enforces policy gates, audit trails, evidence chains, and human-facing decision control. For decisions requiring governance and auditability.

Chronological record of all decisions, policy outcomes, trust scores, and actor identities in an execution. Forms the audit trail for compliance and governance verification.

Unified format for all runtime requests containing identity, capability requirements, execution context, and governance decision tracking. Core abstraction for governance-aware execution.

Structures, processes, and frameworks for decision-making, authority management, policy enforcement, and compliance. In RI-ECOSYS, governance precedes reasoning.

The core decision-making layer consisting of IdentityGateway, PolicyEngine, TrustEngine, and EvidenceEngine. Orchestrates identity validation, policy enforcement, trust computation, and evidence recording.

Governance component that validates actor identity through headers (x-ri-actor-id, x-ri-role, x-ri-tenant-id, x-ri-session-id). Gate for all governance-aware execution.

Framework requiring verified actor identity for all knowledge access (read, write, derive). Every operation tracked with actor identity and policy decision. Enterprise access control requirement.

Complete audit trail of all knowledge access events including actor, action, timestamp, policy outcome, and trust score. Enables compliance verification and governance proof.

The integrated cognitive substrate comprising Registry, Resolver, Graph, Metadata, Lifecycle, Ontology, Classification, Index, and Relationships. Foundation for knowledge management.

A governed unit of knowledge with identity (ko_id), metadata, lifecycle state, governance state, eligibility state, and provenance. Atomic unit of the Knowledge Platform. Raw information becomes KO after governance qualification.

Five-stage progression: Screening/Qualification → KO Construction → Governance Validation → Eligibility Evaluation → Runtime Execution. Ensures knowledge meets governance requirements before use.

Comprehensive knowledge repository and routing layer. Indexes all knowledge objects and routes queries through Governance Plane and runtime. API-accessible for knowledge retrieval with governance.

Principle that reasoning flow is transparent (you see what's being decided and why), while implementation remains private (internal model stays private). Enables auditability without exposing model internals.

Governance component enforcing allow/deny/require_human/escalate decisions based on autonomy level, risk class, and policy rules. Second stage of governance chain after IdentityGateway.

Executable knowledge unit that performs a defined operation with governed inputs, outputs, and side effects. Can be generated autonomously from Knowledge Objects via derivation.

Complete history and source lineage of knowledge. Required metadata for all Knowledge Objects including creator, timestamp, source origin, and transformation chain.

Unified entrypoint for user queries, messages, and requests. Routes through Masterbook & ri-KOS with governance enforcement. Integrated messaging platform for AIC and system administration.

AI-powered knowledge assistant providing governance-aware answers. Queries ri-KOS Governance Plane and provides responses with full trace, trust score, and source attribution.

Resonant Intelligence Ecosystem — A comprehensive platform for knowledge management, governance, and autonomous cognitive operations. Integrates runtime, governance, knowledge fabric, and autonomous execution.

Knowledge Operating System backend deployed on VPS. Implements Governance Plane v1.0 with ExecutionContract, IdentityGateway, PolicyEngine, TrustEngine, EvidenceEngine. Running on port 8765 for governance-aware query processing.

Comprehensive specification documents defining RI-ECOSYS architecture, governance, and operations. TR-001: Runtime, TR-002: Knowledge, TR-003+: Planned future reports.

Unique identifier for each execution or query (format: ri-YYYY-MM-DD-XXXXX). Links evidence chain, policy decisions, trust scores, and audit trail for compliance and verification.

Governance component computing composite trust score from five factors: identity trust (25%), knowledge trust (35%), provenance trust (15%), policy compliance (15%), runtime integrity (10%). Determines request eligibility.

Composite numerical score (0.0-1.0) computed by TrustEngine reflecting overall governance confidence in a request. Threshold typically 0.85 for acceptance; configurable per policy.
