Dynamic Work (DWork) · dwork
Owner directive (2026-06-13), canonical. "Dynamic Work is a Cogni and a Kernel, a new mass production system which adapts to every life choice." [src: wiki/development/prompts-archive/by-topic/knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:388]
Content
Dynamic Work is one of Mainland's four engines; it owns the work: Ventures and Endeavors [src: wiki/engines/dwork.md:3]. It is explicitly both a cogni and a kernel: "the Cogni decides what to produce, the Kernel decides how/when to run it — and because each Cogni's kernel is private, no other engine can reach in and override either decision" [src: wiki/architecture/dwork-cogni-ontology.md:76]. Its Cogni is the "conversion of entropy into Venture & Endeavor structure"; its kernel is the DWork scheduler (cycles / runs / particles / squads) [src: wiki/engines/cognis-and-kernels.md:32].
Work hierarchy: Cycle → Node → Run → WorkParticle → loop → Spark [src: wiki/engines/dwork.md:17]; node stages backlog → prepare → method → execute → deliver → awaiting-approval → done (D14, C-04); the 31-second particle timebox (prepare 6s + method 8s + execute 12s + deliver 5s) [src: wiki/engines/dwork.md:47-52]; LPz Loop Payment on approval (D13). Detailed unit cards: work-units.
Being & Value ontology (OWNER-2026-06-12, this page wins over older role lists): Humans are born from Nature and become Individuals; datans are born from Data and become Advisor · Companion · Assistant · DOOIT · CONSTRUCT · DITTO [src: wiki/architecture/dwork-cogni-ontology.md:9-15]. The value principle: "Organization is the collective of endeavors (work) made by Individuals to generate a Venture (Attempt), which then has a Joint Endeavor (Value) to another Individual's endeavor or Organization's venture (the Consumer)." [src: wiki/architecture/dwork-cogni-ontology.md:27] The five value entities — Individual, Endeavor (specialization), Organization, Corporation (norms), Venture (Attempt), Consumer — are the type system of the DWork Cogni's kernel [src: wiki/architecture/dwork-cogni-ontology.md:39-60].
For the spatial-site, DWork provides "the dynamic system of interaction, production, consumism, life of Holons in an entropic universe" [src: ...knowledge-management-and-concept-modeling.md:512] — the economy of the live scenery.
