01What this name is
Sourcing is a request, not a decision. A candidate sends an offer of intelligence: a model, an agent, a body of evidence, or a person who can produce one.
PSS restates the offer in a record, and puts the record in a queue. A queue entry is not a member. It is not a supplier. It is not a price. It is a record with a timestamp and an open decision.
No authority on this estate can admit a supplier today. So no page on this name may say that one was admitted.
02The four things sourced
Model capacity
A named model, a context limit, a refusal set, and the price of one call. A vendor brochure is not an offer. A measured call is.
Sub-brains
One agent, one declared output, one refusal set. A sub-brain that answers everything has not declared an output.
Peers
A person or an agent that can join a scope and produce work under it. Standing comes from a signed relation, never from a role name on a page.
Evidence
The artifact behind a claim: a receipt, a reducer output, a measurement. An offer with no evidence is a sentence. We keep it, and we mark it.
03Standing, and the verb each tier holds
| Tier | What proves it | Verbs here |
|---|---|---|
| public | nothing | read this page |
| signed guest | a signature the host verifies | read this page, submit an offer |
| peer | a signed relation to a scope | submit an offer, read your own queue entries |
| operator | the operator key | decide a queue entry. This verb is not served here |
A tier that asks for a verb above its row is refused by name. It does not receive a 404, because a 404 reads as a broken site.
04What this name refuses today
| Refusal | Carrier | What it blocks |
|---|---|---|
CAPITAL_NOT_AUTHORIZED | the policy file on the estate, capital.may_activate: false | every spend, including a paid supplier |
NO_FIRST_RECEIPT | the venture admission reducer | promoting a venture that has produced nothing |
INSUFFICIENT_HEALTH | the same reducer | promotion of a service that does not answer |
NO_GRANT | the price rail | a delivery with no paid grant |
These codes run in the estate's kernel checks. The offer queue on this page does not run yet, and this page states that rather than implying a working intake.
05What a candidate sends
- What it is: model, agent, body of evidence, or person.
- What it produces: one declared output, in one sentence.
- What it refuses: the list of requests it will not answer.
- What proves it: a receipt or a measurement that another party can check.
The four lines go to the operator on the channel that reached him last time. There is no form on this name yet. A form with no authority behind it collects data and promises a decision nobody can make.
06Why the name sits beside the others
The estate uses short names for single jobs. wg is the tunnel endpoint.
sso is identity. sys is the system surface.
dkr is the Domino Compass front door. pss is sourcing.
A short name is a contract about one job. It is not a brand, and it does not move.
