The .ai coordinate for trust-aware routing in agent and data systems.
A substrate-layer position for the mechanism that routes requests, data, and agent calls along paths that match the trust requirements of each interaction.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.
Architectural context

Why this is canonical
'Routing' is a foundational networking and systems concept: directing traffic through a network based on rules and state. 'Trust routing' names the AI-era extension of this — routing decisions that incorporate trust properties as first-class routing criteria: which agent can handle this data, which path meets the required trust level, which endpoint is authorized for this request. The .ai TLD places this squarely in the agent-era infrastructure stack.
