What is Model?
Model — The trained artifact that turns data into capability.
Model is the primitive that answers what turns data into capability? It is the trained artifact every agentic system runs on, the unit that converts information into the ability to act.
It is the layer where durable value moves up the stack. As models become interchangeable, the lasting positions select, govern, and attribute models, making this a coordinate about the orchestration of capability rather than capability itself.
Where model sits in the stack
In the four-layer architecture of the agentic web, model is a Cross-cutting concept — it applies across every layer of the stack. See the thesis for how the layers compound.
