What is Spatial?
Spatial — The grounding layer that ties agentic action to physical space, giving an agent a model of where things are and how they move.
Spatial is the primitive that answers where, in real space, does this happen? As agents drive robots, vehicles, and mapped environments, location becomes part of every decision.
It is the layer where digital reasoning meets the physical world. Spatial grounding lets an agent connect an instruction to a place, a route, or an object it must act on.
Where spatial sits in the stack
In the four-layer architecture of the agentic web, spatial is a Cross-cutting concept — it applies across every layer of the stack. See the thesis for how the layers compound.
