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 have five (5) standard properties that provide key information about them. The subdocuments of this document specify the characteristics of each of the five (5) standard properties.The standard properties of Atlas Documents should be listed in the following order:1. Name2. Version3. Last Modified4. Type5. Components
The Version property of Atlas Documents specifies how many times it has been modified. Every time an Atlas Document is modified, the newly modified Document gets its version number incremented, and the old version is recorded as a historical version with a Document Identifier equivalent to its version number. As an example, if an Atlas Document located at 1.1.1 with version number 3 is modified, the new Atlas Document will have version number 4, and the old Atlas Document will be located at 1.1.1.v3. This ensures all historical versions of Atlas documents are retained permanently as a part of the Atlas.
