The .ai coordinate for the mechanism that makes trust commitments enforceable.
A substrate-layer position naming the binding function in trust architectures — the point where a trust assertion is cryptographically, contractually, or procedurally made to hold.

Why this is canonical
'Binding' is the technical and legal term for the act that makes a commitment non-repudiable — binding keys to identities (PKI), binding signatures to documents, binding agents to their principals' constraints. Pairing it with 'trust' on .ai names exactly the enforcement substrate for trust in agent-era systems: the mechanism that converts a trust assertion from a claim into an obligation.
