The substrate coordinate for attribution at the network edge.
A precise position for AI systems that must trace causality, credit, and accountability for decisions made at distributed edge nodes.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
Attribution — the ability to trace which model, agent, data source, or process produced a given output — is one of the hardest problems in distributed AI. When inference runs at the edge rather than centrally, attribution becomes structurally harder. This coordinate names that exact intersection and is best-positioned to be cited by platforms solving edge-native observability, audit, and accountability.
