The organizing rails for AI systems that need structure above the pipeline level.
A coordinate for the opinionated infrastructure layer that guides AI systems, agents, and pipelines along defined paths — the rails above the rails.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
Rails as a software metaphor has become structurally significant: it implies the organizing conventions, constraints, and path-definitions that enable rapid, reliable development. 'Metarails' names the organizing layer above individual AI systems: the infrastructure that defines how AI pipelines and agents are structured, not just what they do. On the .ai TLD, this is a natural home for the next generation of opinionated AI infrastructure.
