Entities vs Missing Capabilities
Counting participants is not the same as seeing what an outcome lacks.

Entities vs Missing Capabilities
The familiar view
A directory answers who is there
Roles in a regenerative network, listed the way software usually lists them.
- Producer
- Processor
- Buyer
- Laboratory
- Capital provider
- Logistics operator
- Advisor
In RSM these are contextual roles. One participant may play several, and a facility or a living system may contribute without being a participant at all.
The formation view
An outcome is defined by what must be true
Requirements are set before anyone is named to fill them.
Capability
What must be possible at all.
Capacity
How much is available, where and when.
Evidence
What must be shown, and to whom.
Permission
Who may act, and on whose behalf.
Same list, still short
Everyone can be present and the outcome still cannot form
Some gaps appear only when capabilities are considered together.
Rendering diagram…
Nothing on the participant list is absent. The dashed lines are the missing conditions.
Two questions
Who is missing, or what must become true?
The same shortfall, read two ways.

Condition view
What must become true?
Names the missing condition and the dependencies behind it, whoever ends up supplying them.
Gap classes
A gap is a missing condition, not a missing name
Common classes in Wellzai's formation design. The list is meant to stay open.
- Missing capability
- Insufficient capacity
- Missing infrastructure
- Unresolved evidence
- Insufficient commitment
- Financing dependency
- Missing expertise
- Timing
- Geography
- Policy conditions
Still open
Capabilities can be reasoned about. Only agents can commit.
Trust emerges from identity, authority, provenance, evidence, relationship history and observed behaviour.
The open question
If capability is the unit of reasoning, what is the right unit of trust?
