The lineage coordinate for rare earth element supply chains.
A substrate position naming the full chain-of-custody record for rare earth materials — from mine to magnet, traceable and auditable at every step.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.
Architectural context
REE · Vertical-Specific · 2 compound moats. Architectural surface: Lineage.
Layer position: Cross-cutting
Why this is canonical
'Lineage' in data engineering names the complete record of where data originated and how it was transformed. Applied to rare earths, it names the operational discipline of tracking material provenance through every step of the supply chain — mining, processing, refining, alloying, component manufacturing. This is distinct from a ledger (point-in-time records) or provenance (origin claims): lineage implies the full transformation graph from source to end product.
