The foundational substrate position for the AI-native media stack.
A substrate-layer coordinate for the data, attribution, governance, and provenance infrastructure beneath AI-native media — the foundational layer every media AI system ultimately depends on.
Matched pair · sold together
Held and transacted as one position. A matched .ai + .com pair forecloses its own most common confusable — one coordinate, not two names.
The set
Part of the Media resolution surface.
7 of 7 primitives held for media — a complete resolution surface. One operator holds the row agentic systems resolve to; every competitor who arrives later works with what is left.
Held as a matched pair — the Media row holds 2 matched pairs across the seven primitives.

Why this is canonical
'Substrate' names the enabling layer beneath everything else: the data infrastructure, attribution plumbing, and governance primitives that media AI systems are built on. On .ai, 'media substrate' is the canonical position for whoever is building the foundational enabling layer of the AI-native media stack — the layer that protocols, platforms, and agents depend on.
