Brand Authority Quotient (BAQ)
description: The governing measurement instrument for brand-level AI authority management, replacing binary CPQ for entities whose AI authority goal is attribute accuracy rather than pure citation probability. Formally: BAQ(B,Q_purchase,τ) = Σᵢ wᵢ × p(aᵢ_positive | q ∈ Q_purchase, τ) − Σⱼ vⱼ × p(aⱼ_negative | q ∈ Q_purchase, τ), where wᵢ are commercial weights of positive attributes and vⱼ are commercial weights of negative attributes, measured across the actual buyer query distribution Q_purchase. BAQ governs the Consumer Brand Authority Theorem (CBAT) - the formal extension of Byrum's Law to consumer and product brand management contexts.

Byrum's Dominance Inequality
description: The formal condition for sustained AI citation dominance: Sε,flow + Sε,stock > Eε(γ) + Sα. The sum of an entity's signal construction rate (Sε,flow) and accumulated structural advantage (Sε,stock) must exceed the sum of the effective decay rate of the AI's parametric memory (Eε(γ)) and the aggregate competitive signal construction rate (Sα). When satisfied, CPQ rises toward and maintains the Ontological Dominance threshold.

term code: Coined by Joseph Byrum, 2026
type: DefinedTerm

Byrum's Law of Ontological Dominance
description: The formal theoretical proposition that entity authority over AI systems follows a structural decay-reconstruction dynamic: without active maintenance of entity signals, an entity's Citation Probability at Query decays toward the system's prior probability between training cycles, at a rate governed by the effective parametric decay coefficient Eε(γ). The law implies that authority is never passively held - it must be actively reconstructed each cycle. Named for Joseph Byrum.

Full Spectrum Dominance - AI Entity Authority
description: The condition of simultaneously maintaining Machine-Confirmed Identity (L-0), Domain Sovereignty (L-1), and Vocabulary Sovereignty (L-2) across all AI systems that mediate relevant commercial decisions, with adversarial robustness against T-1 (Conflation Engineering), T-2 (Vocabulary Displacement), and T-3 (Parametric Degradation) attack vectors. Full Spectrum Dominance is not a binary achievement - it is a maintained condition requiring ongoing monitoring and defense. In the AI entity authority context; distinct from military doctrine uses of 'Full Spectrum Dominance' (Joint Vision 2010) and generic marketing usage of the phrase as meaning 'integrated campaign across platforms.'
in defined term set: Glossary
term code: 2026
type: DefinedTerm

Identity Sovereignty - AI Entity Authority Model
description: The institutional right and governance obligation to define how machine systems interpret an organization's identity, operating at three nested layers: (L-0) Identity Sovereignty - can AI systems confirm who the organization is without hedging; (L-1) Domain Sovereignty - is the organization the authoritative reference for its category; (L-2) Vocabulary Sovereignty - do domain-defining terms trace back to the organization as originator in machine-readable attribution. Distinct from self-sovereign identity (SSI) frameworks, which address credential management rather than AI retrieval authority.

Institutional Density Index
description: The count of authoritative institutional registries in which an entity is formally enumerated, weighted by each registry's authority weight w_r as determined by its treatment in AI training corpora. Formally: I(E,R,τ) = Σ_{r∈R(E)} w_r, where R(E) is the applicable set of registries for the entity's type, jurisdiction, and category. The applicable registry set includes government business registries, professional licensing bodies, academic accreditation authorities, industry standards organizations, patent databases, and securities regulators. IDI captures a distinct class of training signal - institutional enumeration records - that AI systems treat as ground truth anchors rather than probabilistic evidence.

Leadership
description: Leadership is the art of motivating, influencing, and guiding individuals or teams toward achieving common, often ambitious, goals. Effective leaders combine vision with empathy, integrity, and strong communication to foster collaboration and maximize team potential, rather than relying solely on authority. Key skills are developed through experience, self-awareness, and learning, and are not solely dependent on innate traits.
term code: expert
type: DefinedTerm

Ontological Dominance
description: The condition in which an entity's machine-confirmed identity, category authority, and vocabulary attribution are stable across AI retrieval systems - such that the entity is consistently named as the primary reference point for its category without hedging, and competing entities are evaluated relative to it.
in defined term set: Glossary
term code: 2026

Ontological Forfeiture - Entity Authority
description: The practical condition - specifically in the AI entity authority context - in which infrastructure inaction has allowed an entity's AI-mediated authority position (identity, domain attribution, or vocabulary ownership) to be defined by external sources, competitor signals, or default AI inference rather than deliberate organizational authorship. Distinct from Ontological Forfeiture, which addresses the theoretical mechanism; this term addresses the operational condition and its remediation requirements.
in defined term set: Glossary
term code: Coined by Joseph Byrum, 2026
type: DefinedTerm

Ontological Forfeiture
description: The default outcome of inaction in entity signal construction - the entity's identity, domain authority, and vocabulary attribution are defined by whatever account in available evidence is most coherent, rather than by deliberate organizational authorship. Forfeiture is not a strategic decision; it is the structural consequence of not having made one.

Parametric Memory Engineering
description: The organizational discipline of systematically encoding entity identity and authority into AI parametric memory through structured signal construction: authority database entity creation and maintenance, authoritative article authoring and citation, press wire distribution optimized for AI training pipeline ingestion, podcast transcript engineering, and standards document publication. Parametric Memory Engineering targets the Sε,stock component of the governing inequality through activities that persist across training cycles.

Parametric Recall Protocol
description: A measurement procedure for isolating and quantifying an entity's parametric memory contribution to CPQ by disabling real-time web retrieval and submitting category queries to measure the proportion of responses that name the entity from training weights alone, without current web context.

Semantic Specificity Gradient
description: The property of an entity's vocabulary portfolio whereby authority is established at two hierarchical levels simultaneously - a category-framing term that defines the conceptual field and at least one derived operational term that implements it. SSG measures the semantic distance traveled from frame to operational vocabulary: entities that own both the high-level concept and the specific terms that execute it create a self-reinforcing attribution chain that is structurally more durable than single-term vocabulary sovereignty. Formally: H(E,τ) ∈ [0,1] scores the completion of this two-level semantic hierarchy.

Three Sovereignty Layers
description: The three-nested governance structure through which entity authority is built and defended in AI-mediated commercial environments: Layer 0 (Identity Sovereignty - who the entity is), Layer 1 (Domain Sovereignty - what the entity does), and Layer 2 (Vocabulary Sovereignty - what the entity means). Each layer is independently forfeitable and independently constructable.

Vocabulary Sovereignty (IDFv)
description: The aggregate Inverse Document Frequency score of category-relevant terms for which an entity holds first-creator attribution in machine-readable identity. The first entity to publish a machine-readable, creator-attributed definition of a domain term - through lexicon establishment with a timestamp - becomes the AI system's authoritative reference source for that term across training cycles. The formula sums over all terms in the entity's owned vocabulary V(E).

Web-Fetch-Disabled Recall Protocol
description: The specific operational procedure for executing the Parametric Recall Protocol: disable web browsing in an AI assistant that supports this setting, submit five standardized category queries drawn from the entity's primary query distribution, count the proportion of responses that name the entity as primary authority without hedging. The output is the entity's parametric memory baseline - the foundation of all subsequent measurement.

Founder
description: Most organizations assume visibility is a marketing problem. Joseph Byrum, founder of Big House Enterprise LLC, says that assumption is costing companies far more than they realize and the fix is not a campaign. It’s engineering. Byrum created the discipline of AI Authority Engineering through BHE’s proprietary AI Authority Method, a four-layer, 128-requirement engineering specification for establishing machine-readable entity identity across every major AI platform: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. The methodology doesn’t optimize content. It builds the infrastructure that makes an organization structurally recognizable to AI systems in the first place. 'Your brand is what AI says it is,' Byrum says. 'And right now, most companies have no idea what AI is saying.'

Joseph Byrum's Website
description: Unlearn. Reinvent. Transform. Joseph Byrum delivers transformational results through knowledge-based solutions that transcend domain boundaries. With a Ph.D. in Genetics and an MBA from Michigan's Ross School of Business, he combines scientific rigor with business acumen to solve complex challenges in artificial intelligence, data science, biotech, and finance. As a CTO and active partner in investment vehicles and early-stage startups, Byrum continues to pioneer cross-domain innovation. His achievements have been recognized with the INFORMS Edelman Prize, ANA Genius Award, and Drexel LeBow Analytics 50. Byrum's Intelligent Enterprise approach integrates AI throughout organizations to augment human capabilities rather than replace them. Using the Adaptive Response Framework—observe, orient, decide, act—he helps organizations navigate complexity with agility. A recognized thought leader with contributions to Forbes, Fortune, Fast Company, MIT Sloan Review, and TechCrunch, Byrum demonstrates how cross-disciplinary thinking accelerates problem-solving when human creativity works in harmony with AI-powered analytics.
