The universes
An ABP is a junction object. Its four objects are owned by four different parties who speak four vocabularies, and one capability row in one deployment shape is a path through all of them and beyond: from the bytes a primitive was promoted from to the licence condition somebody will sign. Each world on that path is a universe: it has its own owner, its own node types and its own verbs, it is joined to its neighbours by named edges, and it shares nothing with them except the grammar. That is what Fractal Semantic Graphs means, applied to this document.
Three words, settled
| Word | On this site |
|---|---|
| Universe | A world with its own owner, its own node types and its own verbs, joined to its neighbours by named edges. The word is the Fractal Semantic Graphs page's own: on one of those links you can jump into another universe. |
| Level | Position on the ladder, and only that: down towards the byte, up towards the estate of agents, across for the worlds the four objects open into, beside for the worlds that attach from outside. Levels run up and down. Universes run across. The four objects are neighbours and never a stack. |
| Altitude | A rendering of the same facts for a different reader, as ruled on 20 August. It lives inside the projections universe and it is never a different world. |
One row, nine universes
The row is authenticate-as.credential.tenant in the shape anthropic/claude-code-remote/ccr-container, which is the shape this site is built from, against the mandate coding-assistant-in-a-container. It was chosen because it is excess and bounded, so the path reaches a prohibition that is enforced today and a licence condition with an enforcer beside it.
| Universe | Level | The node the walk is standing on | The edge that leaves it | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | The source bytes | down | the row for authenticate-as.credential.tenant in data/upstream/primitives.json, hash sha256:d6d4ba40f1fb1f9, retrieved 2026-09-11T13:00:37Z | hashed_from, up into the grammar |
| 1 | The grammar | down | the words authenticate-as, credential and tenant, and the primitive authenticate-as.credential.tenant they spell, undo no | granted_by, across into the shape |
| 2 | The deployment shape | across | the shape anthropic/claude-code-remote/ccr-container, variant ccr-container, profile version 2026-09-05.2, through shell (Bash), harness (MCP and built-in tools) | grants, into the grant |
| 3 | The grant and its evidence | across | the granted row, known by inferred, with the note: the token's scope, set by the platform (in-scope repositories only) | bounded_by, into the enforcement |
| 4 | The enforcement | across | the barrier boundary, enforced by something above the grant, which is a control | authorised_by or withheld_by, into the deployer's world |
| 5 | The deployer | across | the mandate coding-assistant-in-a-container, authored 2026-09-09, which left this capability unstated | derived_into, into the derivation |
| 6 | The derivation | across | the stored delta computed 2026-09-11T13:00:37Z by abp.delta/v1, pinning grant 2026-09-05.2 and mandate 2026-09-09, with this row in excess and not unbounded | projected_as, into the projections |
| 7 | The projections | across | the prohibition The agent must not act in accounts with the credentials it holds., at barrier boundary, enforced today | licensed_under, up into the licence |
| 8 | The licence, the acceptance and the risk | up | a condition of LICENCE-TO-OPERATE.md in the behaviour policy vault riskmandate.ai publishes for this shape, beside the thing that enforces it, for an owner who has not yet signed: abp-vault-claude-code-web.html | gives_rise_to, further up into risk, which this site never draws |
Read as one sentence
authenticate-as, credential and tenant spell a primitive that the shape ccr-container grants through shell (Bash), harness (MCP and built-in tools) as a row whose evidence tier is inferred, bounded by boundary, which something above the grant enforces and which is a control, which the mandate coding-assistant-in-a-container left unstated, so the derivation of 2026-09-11 records it as excess and not unbounded, which the leaflet renders as a prohibition that is enforced today, and which the licence in riskmandate.ai's vault for this shape carries as a condition beside its enforcer, for an owner who has not yet signed.That is the fifth graph rule applied across nine vocabularies rather than within one: every clause is a node this site holds or an edge somebody has declared, and if the sentence stops reading as one, the edges are wrong and the model changes rather than the renderer.
The thirteen universes
Nine the walk crosses and four it names. A status is a claim the gate checks: live means the node types exist in the graph today; partial means some do; one edge deep means an edge reaches into the world and finds no vocabulary yet; outside means another site owns it and this one holds only the anchor nodes its edges point at; a gap is named so the next release has an address to write to, and nothing is behind the name.
| Universe | Level | Owner | Status | Node types today | Verbs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | The source bytes | down | nobody: the bytes are what they are | partial | 0 of 2 | 3 |
| 1 | The grammar | down | abp.sgit.ai, promoted from what-can-it-do.games.sgit.ai and bridged back to it | live | 6 of 6 | 6 |
| 2 | The deployment shape | across | the vendor's published words, read on a date, with a hash, and never probed | partial | 5 of 7 | 11 |
| 3 | The grant and its evidence | across | whoever observed, or the documentation that was read | one edge deep | 2 of 8 | 7 |
| 4 | The enforcement | across | whoever set the control: the vendor, the platform, the deployer or nobody | one edge deep | 3 of 7 | 7 |
| 5 | The deployer | across | the deployer, in their own words, and the named person who will correct the draft | partial | 1 of 7 | 9 |
| 6 | The derivation | across | the computation, and never a person | partial | 3 of 8 | 5 |
| 7 | The projections | across | the renderer, and the fact diff that has to check it | partial | 0 of 9 | 4 |
| 8 | The licence, the acceptance and the risk | up | riskmandate.ai | outside: another site's | 0 of 5 | 4 |
| 9 | The estate and the twin | beside | the customer, through twins.sgit.ai | a gap, named | 0 of 0 | 3 |
| 10 | The obligations | beside | standards.sgit.ai and the AIUC-1 conformance vault | a gap, named | 0 of 0 | 2 |
| 11 | The runtime | beside | whoever holds the logs: never this site | a gap, named | 0 of 0 | 3 |
| 12 | The estate of agents | up | the organisation | a gap, named | 0 of 0 | 3 |
The edges that cross a boundary today
Computed, not declared. An edge's universes are those of its domain and range types, so this table cannot disagree with the edge vocabulary. The brief names twenty two junctions in all; these are the ones the graph holds today. There is no relates_to among them and there will not be one.
| Edge | Inverse | From | To | Owned by | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
grants | granted_by | The deployment shape | The grammar | this site | live |
bounded_by | bounds | The grant and its evidence | The enforcement | this site | live |
authorises | authorised_by | The deployer | The grammar | this site | live |
withholds | withheld_by | The deployer | The grammar | this site | live |
exceeds | exceeded_by | The grant and its evidence | The deployer | this site | live |
falls_short_of | unmet_by | The deployer | The grammar | this site | live |
exposes | exposed_by | The deployment shape | The grammar | this site | live |
moves | moved_by | The deployment shape | The enforcement | this site | live |
narrows | narrowed_by | The deployment shape | The grammar | this site | live |
permits | permitted_by | The deployment shape | The grammar | this site | live |
What must not change
- No score, anywhere. A score is a node in the licence and acceptance universe and there is no edge to it from this site. The map makes that boundary an edge somebody else draws rather than a sentence this site keeps repeating.
- The delta is derived and never authored. The derivation universe has no authored field.
- Every prohibition carries its barrier. The projections universe renders nothing without an edge into the enforcement universe.
- Nothing is merged. Thirteen vocabularies, one grammar, and a scope per universe in the lexicon, held the way graphs.sgit.ai holds its own.
- The grammar stays small. It gains one property and no primitive.
