A CONCEPT · PROJECTED FROM THE VINDEX KNOWLEDGE GRAPH
EXECUTION SURFACE
what generic operations need, resolved
A component says what part of the system it is; its execution surface says what the generic operations need to run it — every value fully resolved when the container was built.
Eight surface groups — attention, ffn/moe, norm, head, and the linear-attention, KDA, MLA and Mamba2 families — with no family knowledge in any of them. Since graph schema 6, presence means semantic presence: attention and FFN groups exist iff the program runs those operations, so a pure-SSM component carries neither. An executor reads; it never defaults.
