GTS Segment

• CURIE: gmeow:GTSSegment
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/GTSSegment
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/gts
• Box roles: ConfigBox role, TBox role (What is this?)

One complete header-plus-frames log inside a GTS document — the unit of independent integrity (spec §3.1): a segment has its own genesis hash, its own id/prev chain, its own profile, its own transform catalog, and its own signers. Segments compose by concatenation and never vouch for one another; a third-party segment keeps its third-party attestation. Itself a Manifestation: a segment is a complete, independently shippable artifact.

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Manifestation

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:GTSSegment as a specialized kind of gmeow:Manifestation. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

# Worked example — AI memory-consolidation / generative replay.
#
# An AI agent (gmeow:SoftwareAgent) runs an offline gmeow:LearningEvent over a
# GTS agent-memory package (gmeow:GTSSegment with gmeow:gtsProfileAiPackage).
# The replay performs consolidation and concept formation, and uses an
# gmeow:Analogy to transfer structure between stored scenarios. A dream-like
# synthetic experience is derived from the replay to show the human↔machine
# dreaming parallel without asserting an equivalence.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for one independently-verifiable log within a document — the unit that carries its own chain, profile, codec catalog, and signers, and the subject a transport Attestation vouches for.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the whole file (use gmeow:GTSDocument) and for a single frame; never make one segment vouch for another — each keeps its own attestation by design.

How to use

• Place it in its document with gmeow:gtsSegmentOf, order it with gmeow:gtsSegmentIndex, commit its history with gmeow:gtsHeadId, declare its purpose with gmeow:gtsProfile, and attach signatures as gmeow:hasSignature / gmeow:Attestation whose attestedSubject is this segment.

Examples

• ex:seg0 a gmeow:GTSSegment; gmeow:gtsSegmentOf ex:bundle; gmeow:gtsHeadId "blake3:9f2c…".
