Building BIOS Architecture

The Interface Abstraction Layer, or IAL, represents every registered System05 Interface through a common BIOS object model.

Each Interface object shall include:

Interface Type ID;

Interface Instance ID;

domain classification;

version;

Compatibility Class;

host component;

physical or logical location;

coordinate reference;

connected Interface, if any;

connection state;

Capability Declaration;

negotiated limits;

safety classification;

inspection status;

active faults;

applicable Interface Profile.

The IAL shall represent both sides of a connection independently. This permits the BIOS to detect situations in which one side reports Connected while the other side reports Disconnected, Faulted, or Unknown.

The IAL shall support interfaces that are:

physical;

structural;

mechanical;

electrical;

fluid;

thermal;

data;

control;

human;

robotic;

safety-related;

multi-domain.

The abstraction shall define standard operations such as:

discover;

identify;

verify;

reserve;

align;

engage;

lock;

commission;

activate;

isolate;

release;

disconnect;

Commands passing through the IAL shall be validated against identity, state, authority, compatibility, and safety conditions before execution.
