Section 17 of 105
16. Interoperability as a Constitutional Requirement
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-17 · 19 content blocks
Interoperability is a constitutional requirement of System05 and shall not be treated as a secondary product feature.
Interoperability may include:
- Physical fit and alignment.
- Structural load transfer.
- Mechanical locking and safe release.
- Utility continuity and isolation.
- Environmental sealing.
- Fire and acoustic continuity.
- Data exchange.
- State and capability communication.
- Tool and robotic access.
- Inspection and maintenance compatibility.
- Identity and record exchange.
- Replacement across manufacturers and generations.
An asset shall not be declared interoperable merely because it can be physically connected. It shall satisfy all applicable functional, safety, performance, lifecycle, and information requirements.
System05 shall standardize Interfaces and required behavior while preserving freedom within compatible products.
Proprietary features may coexist with System05 Interfaces, but they shall not obstruct mandatory interoperability or convert essential building functions into avoidable vendor lock-in.
Compatibility shall be declared for specific versions, profiles, configurations, and operating conditions. Unknown or unverified compatibility shall remain explicitly identified.
Adapters may support transition, but dependence on uncontrolled adapters shall not substitute for stable Interface architecture.
