Poesis
Definition Manager — Systemic Intelligence Engine.
The authoritative API, lifecycle enforcer, and store of every governed GSM Definition — the heart of the engine.
Why it matters
What Definition Manager changes for you.
The Definition Manager hosts GSM, manages the Ascription lifecycle, and enforces the DNA governance grammar across tenant schemas. It is the authoritative store of every governed definition.
Governance you can’t corrupt.
The Ascription lifecycle is a validated state machine with referee preconditions — invalid transitions, malformed grammar, and orphaned references never enter the model.
Delivered by GSM Definitions lifecycle enforcement
An API, not a document store.
Definitions are served through a RESTful API with live OpenAPI and structured problem responses — machine-operable at scale, across isolated tenant schemas.
Delivered by GSM Definitions management RESTful API
Audit-ready by construction.
Every governed change is a retained, versioned state transition — the history of the model is the audit trail, not a report assembled after the fact.
Delivered by GSM Definitions retention
The model announces its own changes.
Lifecycle transitions are published as events the rest of the estate reacts to — downstream services, sourcers, and agents learn that a definition moved the moment it moves, instead of polling for it.

Features
What Definition Manager does.
GSM Definitions management RESTful API
A RESTful API to create, read, update, and query every governed GSM definition — the authoritative interface to the model.
GSM Definitions lifecycle enforcement
DRAFT → PROPOSED → APPROVED → ACTIVE → DEPRECATED — every governed change is a validated state transition, auditable end to end.
GSM Definitions retention
Definitions and their history are retained and versioned — nothing governed is silently overwritten or lost.
GSM Definitions lifecycle events mediation
Lifecycle state transitions published as events other services and agents can react to, instead of polling the model for change.
MCP
The governed model and its tooling served to AI applications and agents via the Model Context Protocol — definitions as typed, trustworthy context instead of stale wikis.
