Trade Infrastructure Layer
The representational layer of international trade infrastructure. When AI agents mediate cross-border discovery and comparison, representation quality determines global market access.
Primitives (5)
Computational Trade Infrastructure (CTI)
CTI — The representational layer of international trade infrastructure that allows firms, assets, services, and jurisdictions to be discovered, compared, verified, and acted upon by AI agents.
Jurisdictional Legibility Infrastructure (JLI)
JLI — Systems that make legal, regulatory, tax, compliance, ownership, and transaction contexts machine-readable for AI agents.
Representation Sovereignty in AI-Mediated Markets (RS-AIM)
RS-AIM — Control over how economic entities, assets, and services are represented to AI systems in cross-border markets.
Digital Non-Tariff Barrier (DNTB)
DNTB — A non-interoperable representation, incompatible schema, fragmented verification system, or closed platform record that prevents economic objects from being parsed, verified, or compared by AI agents across markets.
Infrastructure Cost Compression
The economic principle that fixed costs of agent-ready representation should be shared across participants rather than duplicated.
