# 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.
