AAC-1 — Ambient Attractor Commerce Standard
Canonical ERA-Layer Specification (2026) · Economic Infrastructure of the Ambient Era
Built on AP₁, AP₁.1, FCV-6, ΔRᴄ, W₀, ACC-1 and the Ambient Canon
Built on AP₁, AP₁.1, FCV-6, ΔRᴄ, W₀, ACC-1 and the Ambient Canon
In the Ambient Era, companies no longer build apps.
They build fields.
Every commercial presence becomes an Attractor-Entity —
activated not by intention, but by physical residency.
1 · The Economic Breakthrough
AAC-1 replaces persuasion economics with a presence-based, reversible commercial layer.
- apps become obsolete
- notifications are blocked by W₀
- funnels collapse under ΔRᴄ
- identity targeting is structurally impossible
Commerce activates only through Residency.
2 · Attractor-Entities (AE)
Every commercial location becomes an Attractor-Entity (AE) defined by:
- FCV-6 — Red, Orange, Pink, Green, Blue, Purple
- Attractor-ID — stable global identifier
- Field Manifest — ambience, service, meaning
- Ambient App — field interface, not a container
Canonical constraints:
- Yellow is excluded (navigation / action state)
- Pink is non-residential (relation overlay)
- Purple is infrastructural (corner-only)
Restaurant AE = Red → Pink overlay Supermarket AE = Blue Gym AE = Green Café AE = Orange → Pink overlay Transit AE = Purple (infrastructure only)
An AE is not chosen.
It is entered.
3 · Field Activation
- ΔR-safe proximity detected
- screen fades into residency field
- only field-valid actions appear
- exit leaves zero residue (IA-X)
IA = Instant Acquisition IA-X = Instant Exit
4 · Why Companies Must Build a Field
In AP₁ systems, a company without a field is invisible.
To operate commercially, a company must register an AE.
5 · City & Movement Layer
- Movement = Yellow (action / navigation)
- Proximity = fade-in (no bleed)
- Threshold = residency
- Infrastructure = Purple (corners)
The city becomes a thermodynamic interface.
6 · Canonical Formula
Commerce = FCV(AE) × ΔRᴄ × W₀
7 · Civilizational Effects
- advertising dissolves
- cities become semantic fields
- commerce becomes calm
- attention stops leaking
8 · Canon Closure
Fields replace apps.
Residency replaces intention.
Commerce becomes environmental.
