This working paper develops the AXION Coordinate Matrix as a seven-axis reference alignment framework for hardware-agnostic AI infrastructure. The framework does not define a device runtime, cloud platform, access-control engine, legal-effect mechanism, evidence-confirmation system, settlement layer, or automated public-administration process. Instead, it provides a non-executable grammar for identifying how nodes, data, state references, authority conditions, evidence references, result references, and preservation criteria may correspond without absorbing one another. The paper extends the AGI Structural Alignment Series by focusing on the coordinate layer that makes regional AI data infrastructure legible. Previous structural layers established document-state referability, output boundaries, human discretion, role accountability, time-history reference, authority-condition separation, candidate-action status, economic-reference objects, post-cloud preservation, public propagation boundaries, and structural portfolio non-substitution. The Coordinate Matrix translates those principles into infrastructure-level reference positions without converting them into a universal execution system. The contribution of the paper is to define seven coordinates: Node Coordinate, Data Coordinate, State Coordinate, Authority Coordinate, Evidence Coordinate, Result Coordinate, and Preservation Coordinate. Each coordinate is described as a bounded reference axis with a role, boundary, relation, and non-substitution rule. The matrix is then described as a junction grammar for placing AI infrastructure elements such as data centers, public facilities, industrial nodes, heat-demand points, edge nodes, backup nodes, preservation contexts, and backend resources into a coherent but non-centralizing reference architecture. The framework preserves hardware independence, provider independence, institutional autonomy, human responsibility, evidence discipline, result-reference separation, and preservation continuity. It is intended as a public structural research layer for AI and AGI-era infrastructure, not as a claim of implementation finality, device control, automated governance, or legal authority. This working paper is Paper 28 of the AGI Structural Alignment Series.
