The candidate standard
Six cumulative levels describe what a declared record contains and what can be inspected. The public charter is available; a full public v1.0 specification is forthcoming.
Knowledge stays layered.
Records stay inspectable.
KLM develops a candidate record vocabulary. SEDIM separates the architectural responsibilities behind source-aware answers. Nage AI OS preserves the record as it moves across application boundaries.
The reference architecture
The current path uses Qwen3-8B, grounding and records. Managed VARVE layers, CLAST initialisation and wider target-architecture roles remain visibly separated from what is available today.
The inspectable handoff
Source identity, grounding signals, explicit unknowns and verification scope travel with the answer so the next recipient can see what is present and what is missing.
The operating environment
Component names describe responsibilities across knowledge, substrate, delivery and contract boundaries. Integration readiness is evaluated at each specific boundary.
Available today
The answer is returned with its grounding record.
