Versions

The archive of framework releases. v0.0 is the framework entire; releases after it are issued per domain, or per dimension where duplicates span domains, and supersede that scope alone. Every document carries name, description, code and level for each node, and from v0.1 also its boundary conditions, order logic, what changed, and the level-5 indicators seeded beneath every capability. Each document records what moved since the one before it.

Strategic Infrastructure

v0.212 September 2026 · first release past the revision cycle · current
The same ten capability groups, extended from fifty capabilities to sixty-two after the taxonomy was applied to a register of roughly 20,000 scored infrastructure assets and read against the designation instruments of twenty nations. Ten of the twelve additions are promotions out of a parent capability's description. No code retired, nothing deleted. This is the version the framework view now shows.

Governance & Integrity

v0.116 August 2026 · closes the first revision cycle
Eight capability groups and twenty-eight capabilities, rewritten from the indices the domain attracts into the machinery those indices observe — voice, judge, order, rule, deliver, clean, open, endure. The last domain revised; this is the version the framework view now shows.

Information & Influence

v0.116 August 2026 · current
Six capability groups and eighteen capabilities, turned purely outward-facing and rewritten into the machinery of influence — convene, ally, assist, inspire, gather, tell. This is the version the framework view now shows.

Economic Power

v0.116 August 2026 · dimension-wide · current
The first release cut at dimension level: Financial Strength, Production & Innovation and Trade & Investment in one document, twenty capability groups and sixty-nine capabilities, rewritten from a catalogue of statistics to the machinery that moves them and read at three layers — machinery, performance, position. This is the version the framework view now shows.

Critical Technology

v0.116 August 2026 · current
Ten capability groups and forty-seven capabilities running from matter to orbit, rewritten from a catalogue of research fields into national capacity and read at four layers — discover, make, deploy, control. This is the version the framework view now shows.

National Security

v0.116 August 2026 · current
Ten capability groups and thirty-nine capabilities along the arc of the state's use of force, rebuilt around effects rather than equipment and validated against the measurement instruments of the field and the doctrine and force structure of states in every region. This is the version the framework view now shows.

Human Capital

v0.116 August 2026 · current
Nine capability groups and twenty-five capabilities along the arc of a life, validated against the multilateral human capital measurement regimes and national machinery in nine states and the European Union. Every description opens “The capacity to”. This is the version the framework view now shows.

Strategic Infrastructure

v0.116 August 2026 · superseded by v0.2
Ten capability groups and fifty capabilities, validated against the US, UK, EU and Australian critical infrastructure designation regimes and NATO baseline resilience requirements. Superseded by v0.2, which keeps the ten groups and extends the domain to sixty-two capabilities.

National Capability Framework

v0.0Baseline · fully superseded
The framework entire, encoded from the taxonomy as published before the domain revisions: three dimensions, nine domains, 68 capability groups and 254 capabilities. Boundary conditions and order logic have no v0.0 counterpart and are absent rather than reconstructed. Every domain has since been revised, so this document is the record of what the framework was before the first revision cycle rather than a live version of any part of it.
