The second sovereignty perimeter: the condition in which an entity is preferentially retrieved for category-defining queries — ‘what you do’ authority.

Domain sovereignty is measured through domain-specific retrieval preference: when AI systems are asked industry questions, is your entity among those cited? Domain sovereignty without vocabulary sovereignty is presence without differentiation.
