Section 47 of 105
45. Separation of Long-Life Platform and Replaceable Functions
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-47 · 22 content blocks
System05 shall separate long-life platform infrastructure from shorter-life, replaceable, repairable, and upgradeable functions.
Long-life assets may include:
- Foundations.
- Primary structural systems.
- Structural Nodes.
- Permanent reference datums.
- Protected load-transfer geometry.
- Stable constitutional Interfaces.
Replaceable functions may include:
- Cartridges.
- Utility Modules.
- Sensors and smart modules.
- Communication equipment.
- Control hardware.
- Protective covers and seals.
- Fire-protection cassettes.
- Finishes and service panels.
- Technology-dependent systems.
A short-life function shall not be irreversibly embedded within a long-life asset when a safe and practical replaceable architecture is available.
Digital electronics, sensors, batteries, communication devices, or AI hardware incorporated near a Node shall be contained in replaceable service modules wherever practical. Failure or obsolescence of such equipment shall not require replacement of the structural Node.
The separation shall consider physical access, energy isolation, data continuity, fire and moisture protection, temporary support, replacement sequence, and record updates.
The service life of the complete building shall not be unnecessarily limited by the shortest-lived embedded technology.
