Construction Ontology

A directed acyclic graph of construction work — 91 task codes across 13 phases, built from 269 days of real field work by ML Systems founder Sal Parvez. Not simulated. Not AI-generated. Ground truth.

3 Neural Nets

Physical Net

Ground truth from construction sites → measurement and analysis → robot execution parameters

  • ML1 (Manual Labor)
  • ML2 (Measured Learning)
  • ML3 (Machine Learning)

Financial Net

Market intelligence → capital structure → operational accounting

  • LM (Language Modeler)
  • FA (Financial Architect)
  • AE (Accounting Engineer)

Dance Net

Community engagement → creative expression → long-term wealth building

  • EV (Events)
  • CR (Creativity)
  • GW (Generational Wealth)

The Lucent Lens

Glow within to help humans. The ontology exists to augment human capability, not replace it. Tier 4 tasks remain human-essential by design. Every automation decision passes through the Lucent Lens: does this help the person, or just the process?

Full ontology data available via the Data API at Enterprise tier. Includes task codes, sequence DAG, primitives, ML1 metadata, and robot parameters.
