The binding layer position for AI infrastructure.
A substrate coordinate for the layer in AI systems that enforces contracts, rules, and constraints — holding distributed agents, services, and data sources to their agreed terms.

Why this is canonical
'Binding Layer' names the architectural concept precisely: a dedicated layer in a system that enforces binding relationships — contracts, policies, access rules, data agreements — between components. On .ai, this positions the concept in the agent era, where the binding layer becomes the mechanism by which multi-agent systems maintain trustworthy coordination.
