Building BIOS Architecture

During boot and activation, Compatibility Verification confirms that every proposed relationship satisfies the approved building configuration.

The BIOS shall evaluate compatibility across applicable dimensions:

Type and version;

physical geometry;

Interface profile;

structural capacity;

mechanical engagement;

electrical characteristics;

fluid characteristics;

thermal and environmental limits;

data protocols;

control authority;

safety classification;

lifecycle requirements;

Regional Engineering Profile;

project-specific restrictions.

Verification shall compare:

provided capability;

required capability;

approved design requirement;

host limit;

current observed condition;

component certification;

active restrictions.

The result shall be:

compatible;

compatible with reduced capability;

conditionally compatible;

adapter required;

incompatible;

indeterminate.

Conditional compatibility shall identify the exact unmet condition, required corrective action, temporary restrictions, and authorization needed.

Compatibility inherited from an earlier configuration shall be re-evaluated when:

a component or Cartridge is replaced;

an Interface version changes;

configuration is modified;

firmware affects behavior;

an Engineering Profile changes;

damage or degradation reduces capacity;
