Senses

Upstream systems extended into memory as traversable graph nodes. N → 1 → N, never N → N.

An integration imports rows from one system into another. A sense extends the twin’s working memory into the upstream system. Stripe charges, Shopify orders, Salesforce contacts, on-chain events — they become traversable nodes in the same memory graph, not copies in a staging table.

Senses and taxonomies are separate but tightly coupled. Adopting a sense is the one-time act that derives a typed taxonomy from the upstream schema; the taxonomy then locks. From there on, every agent call against the sense queries through that locked shape — Stripe charges, Shopify orders, on-chain events travel as traversable nodes against the same typed contract, without staging tables or copy drift.

The agent reads a Stripe charge, follows the customer edge to a Salesforce contact, follows the contact to a HubSpot stage, follows the stage to an IOBOXX workflow. One graph walk, four upstream systems. No joins across staging tables.

Topology: N → 1 → N. Many upstreams feed one twin’s memory; the twin federates outbound to many consumers via per-twin grants. Adding a consumer is one federation grant, not another point-to-point adapter. See authorization for the grant model.

Senses ship in three families: open-standard taxonomies (FDA, EDIFACT, Odoo shape), Autotwin methodologies (HBSAANY DD, Balanced Scorecard, MIT Sloan DT), and the 145-connector Windsor catalogue. Browse the full grid below, or open /contributors/taxonomies for the contributor view.

STANDARDSOpen-reference taxonomies

FDA medical devices. 7,066 device types from openFDA. Used by CSP for medical-device sourcing.
Odoo (ERP shape). Sales, purchase, inventory, accounting. Lifted as a shape — no Odoo code ships.
EDIFACT. UN/EDIFACT B2B message types (ORDERS, INVOIC, DESADV). The wire format of mature supply chains.

METHODSAutotwin methodologies

HBSAANY DD. Harvard due-diligence framework. Typed assessment the agent can populate, score, cite.
Balanced Scorecard. Kaplan & Norton four-perspective strategy measurement. Codified as typed objects.
MIT Sloan DT. MIT Sloan digital-transformation maturity model. Twins assess themselves against it.

CONNECTORSWindsor catalogue — 145 senses

Every entry below is a sense — adoption derives its typed taxonomy from the upstream schema and locks it. Icons sit in Cloudflare R2 under integrations/windsor/<slug>.webp; data is seeded into the SpacetimeDB integration table by scripts/seed-windsor-integrations.py.
