The substrate-layer coordinate for attention as foundational infrastructure.
Names the underlying layer from which attention-aware systems draw their foundational primitives — whether in ML architectures, behavioral measurement, or agentic routing.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
'Substrate' in this portfolio's framework names the deepest layer: the provenance, governance, and foundational fabric beneath higher-order systems. 'Attention' as the substrate suggests a builder positioning attention itself — the ML mechanism or the behavioral signal — as a first-class infrastructure primitive, not an application feature.
