Section 20 of 104
18. Mandatory Platform Invariants
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-20 · 20 content blocks
Mandatory Platform Invariants are constitutional conditions that shall remain true across all compliant System05 implementations.
The mandatory invariants include:
- System05 shall remain an engineering platform rather than a single proprietary Product.
- Interfaces shall be standardized without unnecessarily standardizing internal innovation.
- Requirements shall remain distinguishable from particular solutions.
- Physical reality shall take precedence over unsupported digital representation.
- Every consequential entity and configuration shall remain identifiable and traceable.
- Compatibility shall be declared, versioned, and verified rather than assumed.
- Safety-critical decisions shall remain attributable to an authorized and accountable Role.
- AI, software, and robotic capability shall not imply constitutional, legal, or professional authority.
- Nodes, Cartridges, and Interfaces shall maintain defined structural and functional boundaries.
- Lifecycle inspection, repair, replacement, and controlled evolution shall be considered during design.
- Global Compatibility rules shall coexist with controlled regional adaptation.
- Verification Evidence shall remain linked to the exact evaluated configuration.
- Mandatory safety and Interface requirements shall not be waived for commercial convenience.
- Historical records, Nonconformities, and authorized deviations shall remain traceable.
- Essential Interfaces shall not be deliberately restricted to create unnecessary proprietary lock-in.
- Released implementations shall provide a defined migration, support, replacement, or retirement strategy.
An implementation that violates a mandatory invariant shall not claim full System05 Conformance, even if it satisfies selected Product Specifications.
Invariants may be clarified through constitutional interpretation but shall be altered only through the formal constitutional amendment process.
