Why this is canonical
'Kernel' is a precise systems metaphor: the innermost scheduling and arbitration layer of an operating system. Applying it to outcomes positions this as the low-level infrastructure that outcome-oriented systems depend on — below orchestration, above hardware. For builders designing agentic operating systems or outcome-aware runtimes, this is the naming coordinate for the core.
