The organizing-layer position for attention as infrastructure.

A canonical coordinate for the thesis that attention — human and machine — is a managed, scarce infrastructure resource requiring the same architectural seriousness as compute or bandwidth.

Why this is canonical

'Attention infrastructure' names the layer that allocates, routes, and governs attention at scale. In AI, the attention mechanism is foundational; in media and communications, attention is the scarce resource that advertising markets are built on; in organizational design, attention management is a recognized constraint. This domain holds the organizing-layer position across all three, on the primary commercial TLD.
