Section 7 of 104
5. Constitutional Architecture and Implementation Layers
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-7 · 15 content blocks
System05 implementation shall preserve a clear separation among constitutional principles, normative engineering requirements, implementation Profiles, Product designs, project configurations, and operational records.
The primary implementation layers are:
Constitutional Layer — establishes enduring principles, definitions, authority boundaries, and mandatory platform invariants.
Standards and Protocol Layer — defines common requirements, Interfaces, classifications, schemas, and interaction rules.
Specification Layer — defines measurable requirements for identified Products, systems, services, and engineering entities.
Profile Layer — selects applicable requirements, parameters, methods, and regional or use-case conditions.
Implementation Layer — contains actual Products, software, manufacturing processes, reference implementations, and certified solutions.
Project Configuration Layer — defines the Building-specific arrangement of selected Components, Profiles, Versions, and approved deviations.
Operational Layer — records the installed, commissioned, maintained, modified, and current physical state.
Evidence and Governance Layer — preserves verification, approval, decision, incident, and lifecycle records across all other layers.
Lower layers shall not redefine the meaning or authority of higher layers.
A reference implementation may demonstrate one acceptable solution but shall not become a constitutional requirement unless the governing authority separately approves that requirement.
Project-specific engineering may narrow permitted choices or introduce justified additional controls, but it shall not silently alter mandatory System05 Interfaces or constitutional concepts.
Operational records shall represent the actual Building rather than the intended design alone.
Every consequential implementation decision shall remain traceable upward to its governing requirements and downward to its physical or digital realization.
