# Spine fabric

# Business Context Ingestion & Synthesis

## Objective

Turn fragmented source data into connected **Business Context** in the Business Context Spine.

## The Tier-0 Principle

> **Business Context is the semantic foundation of SpineWorkspace.** It connects organizational business reality to Work, Humans, AI, Agents, Memory, Knowledge, Capabilities, Communication, Decisions, Governance, Execution, Evidence, Continuity and Outcomes. Without Business Context, SpineWorkspace has no meaning; it becomes another collection of tools and interfaces.
>
> **The Spine gives work its business context.**

## Pipeline

```text theme={null}
Source Systems
→ Connectivity
→ Loader
→ Raw Evidence
→ Normalization
→ Schema Synthesis
→ Entity Resolution
→ Relationship Linking
→ Event Linking
→ Business Context
→ Business Context Spine
```

## Source classes

* structured records;
* unstructured documents;
* communications;
* events;
* AI session outputs;
* external agent results.

## Stages

### 1. Connect

Authenticate and establish scoped provider access.

### 2. Ingest

Capture source data/events without prematurely changing canonical meaning.

### 3. Normalize

Convert provider-specific representations to stable normalized primitives.

### 4. Synthesize

Map provider semantics to canonical Spine concepts.

### 5. Resolve

Resolve identity, duplicates, conflicts and relationships.

### 6. Contextualize

Link data to organization, domain, entity, Work, user and time.

### 7. Govern

Determine whether the result is evidence, state, candidate memory or another category.

### 8. Persist

Write to the correct governed layer.

## Core invariant

> Provider schema is not canonical organizational schema.

## Output

The result is not merely a normalized database. It is connected **Business Context** that can support human projections, Twin context, Work, reconciliation and organizational memory — all stored in the Business Context Spine.

## The Three Memory Domains

| Domain                         | What it is                | Relationship to Business Context                 |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **Business Context (Spine)**   | THE organization's memory | **THE thing.** Without it, nothing works.        |
| **Personal Contextual Memory** | Human's working notes     | Working continuity that SERVES Business Context. |
| **AI Continuity Memory**       | Twin/agent working state  | Working continuity that SERVES Business Context. |

**Business Context is NOT a feature.** It IS the semantic substrate that gives the entire workspace meaning. Personal Contextual Memory and AI Continuity Memory are not equal peers to Business Context. They are working continuities that serve it.
