Why this is canonical

'Rail' as a singular form captures both the physical metaphor (the track that directs movement) and the governance metaphor (the constraint that keeps systems on course). On .ai, it names the organizing layer for any system that needs to constrain, guide, and direct AI behavior within defined bounds.
