▲ Fastest-moving — presentation, interaction, modality
Interface Layer
Presentation and interaction — where users meet the system
Fastest pace — changes with every modality and context
Interaction Planned
User-facing surface — input, output, all modalities
Presentation Planned
Layout, rendering, responsive display, component system
⇄
API — Bidirectional interface for external integrations, partner tools, and platform access
Workbench Layer
Where work gets done — dynamic, problem-driven, capability-rich
Medium pace — adapts to each problem arc
Guide WIP
Facilitation agent — orients the user, surfaces options, navigates the arc
Workbench Planned
Workspace for the problem arc — framing, research, modeling, synthesis, communication
Agent Orchestration Planned
Selects, sequences, and coordinates cognitive capabilities
Capabilities
Where agents and tools actually do work
Agency Layer
Identity, context, and governance — the slower-moving foundations
Slowest pace — persists across sessions and projects
Institution Planned
Organizational governance — dial constraints, data policies, capability access
governance flows down ↓
Account · Mirror WIP
Persistent identity — goals, values, preferences, ethics, self-knowledge
Agency Dial — Cross-cutting concern. User control surface in Interface · Governance constraints from Institution/Account · Behavior logic in Orchestration/Capabilities
Integration Planned
External systems, LLM providers, partner tool APIs, data sources
Persistence Planned
Data layer — user data, project state, working library storage, institutional config, system state
▼ Slowest-moving — infrastructure, data, external systems
