Abstract

v3.6 extends the CKP ontology with the agent kernel type (CK.Claude), five formal edge predicates (COMPOSES, TRIGGERS, PRODUCES, EXTENDS, LOOPS_WITH), 20 compliance check types, a four-layer consensus governance engine, task execution via headless Claude Code, dynamic kernel spawning, multi-user NATS sessions, and persona-based LLM capability mounting. All classes maintain BFO 2020 grounding through the four-layer import chain.

Ontology Layering Strategy

Layer	Ontology	Scope
0	BFO 2020 (ISO 21838-2)	Upper ontology: entity, continuant, occurrent
0.5	IAO + CCO + PROV-O + ValueFlows	Mid-level: information, agents, provenance, economics
1	CKP (conceptkernel.org/v3.6/)	Protocol: kernel, edge, instance, action
2	Per-kernel (ontology.yaml)	Domain-specific: SpawnInstance, TraceRecord, etc.
