Domain120
Field-specific ratified 6x20 lattices derived from the Base120 architecture and promoted through governance.
Domain120 is the governed output layer of HUMMBL's three-layer lattice architecture. It is a field-specific 6×20 lattice of Base120 operators, generated by BaseN, curated by domain experts, and ratified by governance before it can be published or referenced as canonical.
What it is
A Domain120 set is a complete 6×20 lattice: 6 transformation families (Perspective, Inversion, Composition, Decomposition, Recursion, Systems) with 20 operators each. The operators are selected from the frozen Base120 catalog and arranged for a specific domain.
The relationship is strict: Base120 provides the immutable operators; BaseN proposes domain-specific arrangements; governance ratifies the result; a Domain120 set becomes the canonical reference for that domain.
| Layer | Scope | Status | License |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base120 | Frozen OSS cognitive kernel | Immutable | MIT |
| BaseN | Generative lattice framework | Proprietary | Internal |
| Domain120 | Field-specific ratified 6×20 lattices | Per-set | Varies |
Promotion ladder
Every Domain120 set must traverse the full BaseN promotion ladder before it can be published.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Generated | Raw BaseN output |
| Candidate | Basic curation complete |
| Curated | Domain expert review passed |
| Validated | Cross-domain stress test passed |
| Ratified | Governance-approved canonical set |
| Published | Version-locked public release |
| Deprecated | Superseded by newer ratified set |
Examples
A ratified lattice for software engineering reasoning, using Base120 operators such as P1 First Principles, IN6 Proof by Contradiction, CO11 Pattern Composition, DE5 Dimension Reduction, RE1 Recursive Improvement, and SY2 System Boundaries.
A lattice for AI agent governance, anchored on P6 Point-of-View Anchoring, IN8 Contrapositive Reasoning, CO15 Config Matrix, DE1 Root Cause Analysis, RE20 Recursive Governance, and SY13 Incentive Design.
We never say "Base120 Physics." The correct phrasing is "Domain120: Physics" or "HUMMBL Physics120." The Base120 kernel is frozen and immutable; only Domain120 sets are domain-specific.
Schema
A Domain120 set is a JSON document that declares its provenance, status, and operator mapping.

Origin: Domain120 was formalized alongside BaseN as the governed output layer of the three-layer lattice architecture.
Decision record: ADR-FM-045 — Base120 / Domain120 / BaseN Three-Layer Architecture
Boundary: Domain120 sets are public only after ratification; each set carries its own license and public status.
