Canonical vocabulary
| Term | Final meaning |
|---|---|
| Business Context | THE defining concept of SpineWorkspace. The complete operating reality of the organization — objectives, KPIs, goals, initiatives, lifecycle state, relationships, decisions, evidence, commitments, policies, and outcomes. Without it, there is no SpineWorkspace. Everything else connects through it. |
| Business Contextual Spine Fabric | The tenant-scoped system that IS the organization's business context. The shared organizational context, truth, work, evidence, history and continuity substrate. It is not merely a database — it is what the system knows, what is true enough to operate on, what is happening, what was decided, and what happened next. |
| IntegrateWise | Infrastructure platform for connected human-AI work and organizational continuity. |
| SpineWorkspace | Primary product and shared work environment. Exists to make Business Context actionable for humans and AI together. |
| Human Workbench | Primary user-facing operating surface inside SpineWorkspace. |
| AI Workbench | AI-side operating environment for Twin and Spine Agents. |
| Business Contextual Spine Fabric | Shared organizational context, truth, work, evidence, history and continuity substrate. |
| Business Context Memory / Organizational Memory | Durable organization-owned memory that has passed the appropriate governance/promotion boundary. |
| Personal Contextual Memory | User-bound personal work continuity, private by default. |
| AI Continuity Memory | Twin/agent working continuity; not canonical business truth. |
| Work | Durable unit of human-AI coordination and handoff. |
| Twin | Contextual human-facing cognitive co-worker. |
| Spine Agent | Governed AI worker operating on Work and authorized Spine context. |
| Projection Engine | Sole composer of authorized versioned Workbench/context contracts. |
| One Auth-to-Ecosystem | Identity, tenant, consent, scope, delegation and service-principal authority context. |
| Integration Manager | Connection lifecycle, OAuth, mappings, webhooks, discovery and sync policy. |
| Activation Manager | Administrative surface for activating tenant capabilities/context. |
| Activation Bridge | Runtime compiler of configuration, connections, identity, context, policy and capabilities. |
| Continuity Bridge | Distribution/access boundary for external AI/application surfaces. |
| IW Spine Network MCP | Hosted outward MCP boundary for IntegrateWise. |
| MCP Pool | Inward tenant registry of approved MCP servers/tools. |
| ADK | Agent Development Kit and governed agent runtime contract. |
| Capability Fabric | Provider-neutral registry/resolver for how authorized intent can be performed. |
| Governance | Authority boundary: allow, deny, require approval or bounded delegation. |
| Hermes | Coordinator of approved execution and its operational lifecycle. |
| Outcome Event | Observed provider result, not automatically verified truth. |
| Verification/Reconciliation | Expected-vs-actual closure that determines whether business reality changed as intended. |
| Continuity Run | Traceable lifecycle from intent through execution, outcome, reconciliation and rehydration. |
| OODA | Internal Observe-Orient-Decide-Act interaction grammar. Embedded into every natural user action, not exposed as literal UI buttons. Users experience work that already carries context; OODA is the machinery making that possible. |
