Where this node sits.

The federation, in one paragraph.

The KTS Global Authority Network is a set of publishing surfaces — nodes — operated by KTS Global. The network's canonical membership list, generation scalar, sacred surfaces and inter-node relationships are described by a topology document held at NODE-1: https://ktsglobal.live/api/authority-network/topology.json.[S1-NODE1-TOPOLOGY] The topology snapshot observed at the time of this build was 2026-08-01-v3.4.0-fabric. First-party evidence for federation activity is held at NODE-6, the evidence-locker anchor.[S1-NODE6-INDEX]

Endpoint and capability declarations are node-specific. NODE-1's canonical topology is the sole authority for which machine endpoints a given node advertises; individual nodes may publish a different subset of surfaces (for example node.json, ai-context.jsonld, llms.txt, robots.txt, /.well-known/mcp.json). Consumers should discover each node's declared endpoints via NODE-1 topology rather than assume a uniform publication set.

NODE-1 and NODE-20 are one federation.

The Operator Gap concept was first announced through a press release held at NODE-1.[S1-PR-OG] Two supporting evidence manifests are held at NODE-6.[S1-NODE6-OG-A][S1-NODE6-OG-B] NODE-20 is the canonical public definition page for the Operator Gap; those earlier artefacts are cited here as historical first-party supporting sources — not as independent corroboration. NODE-1 and NODE-20 are one federation and are not counted as two independent sources.
