Declare concepts and review boundaries for the silent artifacts (T02)
Twelve of the thirteen artifacts that declared nothing now declare what they
define, together with the map-assigned concepts the Organization Model was
missing and the Landscape seed concepts the extractor cannot see because they
are listed rather than defined in prose. The ownership index grows from 164
entries to 750, undeclared prose definitions fall from 637 to 57, and there are
no ownership conflicts. The 57 that remain are overlaps this round assigned to
another owner: imports, each recorded in a boundary review.

The kernel map declares nothing, deliberately, because it assigns concepts to
owners rather than defining them. It is now the only silent artifact and the
suite asserts that, so an artifact added without declarations fails.

itc-org:Authority is declared, with Actor, Ownership, Membership, Role,
Responsibility and Accountability, which SecurityCanon and the identity model
already treat as organization-owned. The regression test that previously
asserted the blind spot now asserts that the kernel map's assignment and the
declaration agree.

Profile is deliberately left undeclared. The kernel map assigns it to Core, the
identity model owns it under accepted CUST-ADR-006, and Observability defines a
runtime performance profile. Three senses need a decision, not a declaration, so
it is recorded as open rather than forced.

Eleven boundary reviews are added beside the artifacts they describe, in the
shape the identity model has used since INFO-WP-0021. The largest finding is
that Core and the Information Space model restate eight provenance concepts in
nearly identical words; Core owns them and Information Space imports. Label,
Drift, Summary and Attribute are resolved by disambiguation rather than
transfer.

make check passes with 50 tests, clean validation, no stale generated assets.

InfoTechCanon Information Space Model concept boundary review — 2026-09-20

Authority: INFO-WP-0027-T02, the declaration round that gave this artifact an owned_concepts list. Resolutions cite the kernel map concept-owner table where it assigns an owner, and are decided in this review where it does not. No concept is renamed, moved or removed.

Concept Owner Resolution Decided by
Activity kernel/itc-core Core and Information Space state this definition in nearly the same words. Core owns the provenance mechanism; Information Space imports it. this review
AgentBrief kernel/itc-core Assigned by the kernel map concept-owner table. kernel map
AgentReference kernel/itc-core Same definition restated. Core owns it as part of the provenance family the kernel map assigns to Core; Information Space imports. this review
Alias kernel/itc-core Core defines the general alternative identifier or label; Information Space restates it and imports. this review
DecisionRecord kernel/itc-core Core owns the record type; the Information Space enumeration of context, options, rationale and consequences is guidance on the same concept, not a second definition. this review
ExternalReference kernel/itc-core Core owns the outward pointer; Information Space scopes it to sources outside the information space and imports. this review
Influence kernel/itc-core Identical definitions. Core owns it with the provenance family; Information Space imports. this review
Label kernel/itc-core Three uses, one owner. Core owns Label as a human-readable name. The Tagging sense, a display-oriented representation of a Tag, is a qualified use of the same word and keeps its section; Information Space imports. No rename. this review
Link model/information-space Assigned by the kernel map concept-owner table. kernel map
Namespace kernel/itc-core Core owns the naming scope; Information Space adds the collision-prevention purpose and imports. Identity Realm and Tagging namespaces specialize it rather than redefining it. this review
ProvenanceRecord kernel/itc-core Assigned by the kernel map concept-owner table. kernel map
Source kernel/itc-core Identical definitions. Core owns it; Information Space imports. this review
Summary model/information-space Information Space owns Summary as a derived knowledge artifact. The Observability sense is a metric aggregation and is a distinct qualified concept; disambiguation rather than transfer. this review
VersionRecord kernel/itc-core Assigned by the kernel map concept-owner table. kernel map

Concepts this artifact declares are listed in its frontmatter. An overlap recorded here means another artifact defines the same name; where the owner is another artifact, this one imports the definition rather than restating it.
