A.1 - The Governance Scope

The Governance Scope regulates the governance processes and balance of power of the Sky Ecosystem. The Governance Scope must ensure that the resilient equilibrium of Sky Governance remains protected against all potential direct and indirect threats.
Atlas Documents are essential to the structure and governance of the Sky Ecosystem. They are organized into document trees, which include Immutable Documents and Adaptive Documents. Immutable Documents embody the Spirit of the Atlas; while Adaptive Documents operationalize the Spirit of the Atlas and facilitate its aligned evolution. This Article defines the properties, development, and procedures associated with Atlas Documents.

Atlas Documents are the basic building blocks for structuring data in the Atlas. They are organized as nested document trees, each with a unique Document Identifier. The first three layers contain the Immutable Documents, which together enshrine the Spirit of the Atlas and the core, permanent boundaries for how to operationalize it without risking slippery slope misalignment. In the layers below the Immutable Documents are the Adaptive Documents, which are continuously improved through the Sky Governance process. The Adaptive Documents interpret and practically operationalize the Spirit of the Atlas within the boundaries set by the Immutable Documents.
All Atlas Documents are distinguishable through their unique Document Identifier. The Document Identifier is the technical name of the Atlas Document, and it determines its position in the Document Tree of the Atlas. All Document Identifiers begin with a capital A, and the numbers and letters of the Document Identifiers are separated with dots, with each dot signifying that the Atlas Document is one layer deeper in the tree structure. The Document Identifiers help determine the position of each Atlas Document, and makes it easier to estimate the relationship between two different Atlas Documents.
