Framework

Decision Chain

The Reference Layer is the world presented to a model before retrieval is interpreted and before allocation is authorized.

On the mothership, this instrument belongs in the chain Reference → Allocation → Supervision → Afterlife.

  1. Reference Layer

  2. Algorithmic Allocation

  3. Supervisory Layer

  4. Decision Afterlife

  1. Information Environment

  2. Reference Layer

  3. Retrieval

  4. Model Interpretation

  5. Recommendation / Allocation

  6. Decision

  7. Action

  8. Decision Afterlife

What happens next

From reference to afterlife

  1. Reference Layer

    What world is presented to the model?

  2. Model Interpretation

    How does the model read that world?

  3. Algorithmic Allocation

    When does inference become consequence?

  4. Supervisory Layer

    ALLOW / HOLD / DENY at the boundary.

  5. Decision Afterlife

    What remains after the decision?
