+# Kernel Overview
+
+## First-Generation Kernel
+
+The current InfoTechCanon kernel is composed of:
+
+```text
+Kernel:
+  InfoTechCanonCore
+  InfoTechCanonKernelMap
+
+Models:
+  InfoTechCanonInformationSpaceModel
+  InfoTechCanonLandscapeModel
+  InfoTechCanonOrganizationModel
+  InfoTechCanonGovernanceModel
+  InfoTechCanonTaskModel
+  InfoTechCanonAccessControlModel
+  InfoTechCanonSecurityModel
+  InfoTechCanonDataModel
+  InfoTechCanonDevSecOpsModel
+  InfoTechCanonNetworkModel
+  InfoTechCanonObservabilityModel
+
+Standards:
+  InfoTechCanonTaggingStandard
+  InfoTechCanonCaringAccessGovernanceStandard
+```
+

+
+## Compact Mental Model
+
+```text
+Core
+  how the canon works
+
+Information Space
+  how canon knowledge is stored, linked, retrieved, and reused
+
+Landscape
+  what exists
+
+Organization
+  who acts
+
+Governance
+  how action is directed, constrained, reviewed, and evidenced
+
+Task
+  what work exists and how it progresses
+
+Tagging
+  how entities are lightly classified
+
+Access Control
+  who/what may do which action on which resource under which conditions
+
+CARING
+  how access governance is analyzed orthogonally across lifecycle, planes, scope, exposure, and effective access
+
+Security
+  what threatens, weakens, exposes, detects, mitigates, and responds
+
+Data
+  what data means, how it is structured, classified, traced, and contracted
+
+DevSecOps
+  how source changes become artifacts, releases, deployments, and evidence
+
+Network
+  how communication, reachability, addressing, routing, policy, and exposure work
+
+Observability
+  how runtime reality becomes signals, evidence, alerts, health, and feedback
+```
+

+
+## Primary Kernel Rule
+
+```text
+Generic mechanisms belong in Core.
+Domain meaning belongs in Models.
+Named analytical/design frameworks belong in Standards.
+Concrete implementation constraints belong in Profiles.
+```
+
+---
+
+## CARING Position
+
+CARING is a specialized access-governance standard. It should live under:
+
+```text
+standards/caring/InfoTechCanonCaringAccessGovernanceStandard.md
+```
+
+It should import from:
+
+```text
+Core
+Organization
+Governance
+Access Control
+Security
+Data
+DevSecOps
+Network
+Observability
+Task
+Tagging
+```
+
+It should not be flattened into Access Control because it owns a distinctive orthogonal descriptor model.
