Authority resolver

Authority explorer

The runtime resolver. Given a location, time, and substrate, EnfinitOS arbitrates between overlapping rights using a deterministic five-layer precedence rule (CIVIC > PROPERTY > TRADEMARK > CONTRACTUAL > CONQUEST). This is the hot-path call that fires on every render decision — the rights registry isn't a static catalog, it's a resolvable index.

How this works

Five-layer precedence rule

When two or more ACTIVE rights overlap at a query point, the resolver returns the highest-precedence right. Ties within a layer fall back to most-recently-issued.

1
CIVIC
Council-issued permits + statutory authorities. Beats every commercial agreement when they conflict.
2
PROPERTY
Landowner / property-licensor authority. The default basis for most DOOH portfolios.
3
TRADEMARK
Brand-holder authority over their own marks. Rarely the operating basis but always a veto layer.
4
CONTRACTUAL
Negotiated agreements between commercial parties. Default for media-deal flows.
5
CONQUEST
Possession-based claims when no higher authority asserts. Last-resort tier; never auto-elevated.
