61. Interface Definition Before Connector Design
Every System05 Interface shall be defined before a Connector or implementation intended to realize it is approved.
The Interface definition shall identify:
- Participating asset classes.
- Purpose and responsibility boundary.
- Transferred loads, resources, energy, fluids, data, or authority.
- Geometry and datum requirements.
- Operating states.
- Capacity and performance limits.
- Environmental conditions.
- Safety and failure behavior.
- Isolation and release requirements.
- Compatibility and version rules.
- Verification methods.
- Required evidence.
Connector design shall follow the Interface contract. A preferred fastener, coupling, plug, latch, protocol, or commercial product shall not be used to define the Interface retrospectively unless the constitutional need for that implementation is demonstrated.
Several Connector designs may implement the same Interface when each satisfies the complete observable behavior and verification requirements.
A Connector developed before Interface approval shall remain a prototype or experimental implementation and shall not establish a permanent platform obligation by precedent.
