The infrastructure-plane coordinate for provenance — a foundational layer position.

A substrate position naming provenance as a dedicated plane of infrastructure, distinct from the data it governs — the control-plane framing applied to origin tracking.

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

Why this is canonical

In distributed systems, 'plane' designates a discrete layer of infrastructure with a specific function: control plane, data plane, management plane. Applying it to provenance positions this name at the architectural level — provenance not as a feature but as its own dedicated infrastructure layer. This is a builder's framing for serious infrastructure work.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI infrastructure / MLOps
A dedicated provenance plane for AI systems — the infrastructure layer that manages lineage independently from the models and pipelines it governs.
AI infrastructure builders, MLOps platform vendors
Cloud / distributed systems
Provenance as a first-class infrastructure plane in cloud-native architectures — separate from the compute and data planes, with its own API surface.
Cloud infrastructure builders, platform engineering teams

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