An alphabetical guide to Mad’s products, capabilities, support tools and reference architectures. Related names do not necessarily identify separately released products.
Architecture, software and publications.
WorldModel™ identifies the named governance architecture. Shared operational state and environmental representation identify components within it. References to the general technical concept of a world model retain their ordinary technical meaning. Software availability, implemented capabilities and the books documenting the architecture are separate matters.
