The foundational substrate position for lineage in the agentic web.

Where lineage meets substrate on .ai — the deepest-layer coordinate for the provenance primitives that all higher-level systems are built on.

Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical

Substrate names the lowest, most foundational layer — the primitives everything else computes against. On .ai, this string claims the base-layer position for lineage itself: the core data structures, identifiers, and records that every lineage system must build on, in the era where agents are the primary consumers.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Lineage primitives infrastructure
The substrate layer that provides core lineage data structures — IDs, event schemas, graph primitives — that any lineage product can build on.
Infrastructure builders, open-standard contributors, platform vendors
Agent-readable provenance substrate
The base layer that agents query to verify the provenance of any data or decision they encounter.
Agentic AI infrastructure vendors, agent protocol builders

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
