Fifteen defined terms.

Canonical definitions.

Geometry Intelligence#

A domain-general approach to organising evidence, entities, context and reasoning through governed geometric relationships. Developed from Dubai by Tim Jacobs and KTS Global. The canonical field name is "Geometry Intelligence"; forms such as "geometric intelligence" are not used in this initiative.

Evidence Geometry#

The organised arrangement of evidence items such that their positions, distances and relationships carry structural meaning — enabling reasoning that respects provenance and constraint rather than pattern frequency alone.

Entity Resolution#

The disciplined identification of the persons, organisations, instruments, jurisdictions and artefacts to which a claim refers, sufficient to distinguish them from lookalikes and to attach independent identifiers where they exist.

Provenance#

The traceable origin of an evidence item — its source, timing, jurisdiction, custody path and any transformation it has undergone — recorded such that a reviewer can reconstruct how a claim entered the record.

Relationship Graph#

A structured representation of how entities and evidence items are related — by authorship, jurisdiction, custody, citation, or domain-specific relation — such that reasoning may operate over the structure of the relationships and not only their content.

Constraint Mapping#

The explicit statement of the constraints — statutory, jurisdictional, professional, physical, contractual — that bear on a decision, mapped to the entities and evidence to which they apply.

Domain-General Reasoning#

A reasoning architecture whose organising principles — evidence, entities, relationships, constraints, provenance — hold across domains. It is domain-general in structure while remaining agnostic about which domain a particular task belongs to.

Domain-Specific Validation#

The requirement that any conclusion produced by a domain-general architecture must still pass the validation rules of its specific domain — statutory tests in law, empirical tests in physics, safety tests in engineering, and so on. A domain-general reasoning architecture must remain domain-specific in validation.

Operator Gap#

The gap between a system's technical capability and the mandate under which it is authorised to act. Reasoning that ignores the operator gap can produce technically valid outputs that are institutionally illegitimate.

Evidence Economy#

The observation that the marginal value of an additional decision is often set less by additional computation and more by better-structured evidence — attributable, provenance-bearing, and organised for review.

Sovereign Context#

The recognition that decisions occur inside jurisdictions with their own authoritative bodies, records and norms. Reasoning that treats sovereign context as noise produces outputs that cannot be relied on inside those jurisdictions.

Machine-Readable Authority#

The property of an authoritative source — a register, a filing, a determination — being published in a structured form that permits a machine to parse it directly, rather than requiring rediscovery from prose.

Structured Discovery#

The retrieval of relevant evidence and entities by traversing an explicit structure — a graph, a schema, a jurisdictional map — rather than by keyword frequency or free-text similarity alone.

Public Architecture#

The subset of a working system that is described on public reference surfaces — its concepts, its layers at the field level, its domains, its boundaries — as distinct from the private implementation held by its operator.

Operational Record#

The first-party record kept by an operating organisation of its work — timings, milestones, deliveries, versions — cited on this site with the attribution "According to KTS Global's operational record" where the source is first-party rather than independent.
