Reference 01 — 7-Axis Taxonomy, Cross-Departmental Algebra (0..80), Human-Stack (85..95) & 16-Pack Catalog
Normative Architecture:
docs/architecture/01_core_and_node_manifest.md,docs/architecture/02_triadic_topology_and_twin_surfaces.md, anddocs/architecture/03_governance_and_work_ledger.mdThis reference defines the 7-Axis Multidimensional Taxonomy, the Perspective Matrix across
Level 1..4, the Cross-Departmental Contextual Algebra (0..80), theHuman-StackMatrix (85..95), and the complete4 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 16Declarative Template Catalog.
Every concept in ZeroCloudGravity belongs to one of 7 orthogonal dimensions (Mandate 1 — zero flat case enums or overloaded terms):
| Axis # | Orthogonal Dimension | Question It Answers | Canonical Values (src/zcg/core/constants.py) |
Disambiguation Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Axis 1 | Entity & Sovereignty Lineage (entity_kind × visibility × governing_root_id) |
What kind of legal/organizational entity is this, is it private or public, and who is its sovereign Root 0? |
public-government (1..4), enterprise (5..84), individual (85..95), open-source (10); private | public. |
Never confuse entity_kind (Government vs. Enterprise vs. Individual vs. OSS) with layer_role (hierarchical rank inside that entity). |
| Axis 2 | Topological Class (Node × Layer × Network) |
What is this repository or runtime instance functionally within the graph? |
governance-layer (corporate, domain-policy, department, squad), knowledge, runtime-node (workstation, service-node, environment-cluster), ephemeral-sandbox (ephemeral-bot), consumer-workspace (project). |
A Node is a physical repo + work ledger + cockpit; a Layer is its normative 0..100 authority tier; a Network is its 1-hop governed subtree & mounted knowledge mesh. |
| Axis 3 | Deontic Precedence (precedence: 0..100 Lex Superior) |
When multiple layers bind to the same file surface, which rule wins? |
1..2 Public Admin Root 0 3..4 Public Dept 5..9 Fiduciary domain-policy 10 Corporate Root 0 15 ephemeral-bot 15..45 Functional department / 20 knowledge 50 squad 80 project 85..95 Human-Stack. |
Lower number = higher authority (1 < 5 < 10 < 20 < 25 < 50 < 80 < 85). Human-Stack (85..95) modulates pedagogical delivery without overriding 0..80 laws. |
| Axis 4 | Actor RBAC & Overarching Authority (effective_role) |
Which human email (git config user.email) is acting, and what can they approve? |
owner, maintainer, validator, member (in layer_authority.roster) + consumer. UPSTREAM_HIERARCHICAL_AUTHORITY applies when relationship_scope == "internal". |
Never confuse actor_role (person's RBAC permission) with layer_role (repository topological rank). |
| Axis 5 | Physical Context Pillars (Pillar A..D) & Stack Groups |
Where do files physically reside on disk? |
Pillar A: ~/.gemini/config/; Pillar B: templates/{human,context,framework,plugin}-stack/* + layers/*; Pillar C: <repo>/.agents/; Pillar D: docs/ & corporate/. |
Local disk mechanisms are Context Pillars (Pillar A..D), distinct from Organizational Levels (Level 1..4). |
| Axis 6 | Inter-Layer Communication Channels (6 Protocols) |
How do layers and nodes exchange rules, tasks, and proofs? |
make sync (downward templates), make delegate (downward tasks), make promote (upward PRs), make horizon (1-hop radar), make consult (rcap1 capsules), make env-gate ( |
Direct cross-layer file mutations are blocked by pre_tool_guard.py; all cross-layer flows use these 6 channels. |
| Axis 7 | Progression Scales (L0..L3 vs. E3..E0 vs. M1..M4 vs. C1..C3 vs. dev..pro) |
Which scale does a shorthand code refer to? |
L0..L3: rcap1 capsule resolution; E3..E0: epistemic credibility; M1..M4: Human-Stack domain mastery; C1..C3: command consciousness; dev..pro: deployment stages. |
Reserve L0..L3 strictly for rcap1 capsules, E3..E0 for epistemic grade, and M1..M4 for human mastery. |
When a business or research goal crosses specialties, ZeroCloudGravity weaves multiple departmental layers along the 0..80 Lex Superior order:
