The Conceptual Architecture SHALL preserve separation between conceptual meaning, logical Structure, implementation mapping, deployment mechanics, testability, and Evidence.
Part 1, Section 13.2: Conceptual Separation Requirements.
The Conceptual Architecture defines a stable meaning for the Financial Systems Archetype. Logical structure, implementation mapping, deployment mechanics, testability, and evidence serve different architectural purposes and operate at different levels of abstraction.
Preserving separation prevents implementation or deployment decisions from altering the architecture's conceptual meaning. It also supports traceability from conceptual intent through logical modeling, implementation mapping, deployment realization, verification, and evidence collection.
This requirement applies to the organization, interpretation, review, and maintenance of the Conceptual Architecture.
It applies specifically to the separation among:
Verification SHALL confirm that the Conceptual Architecture preserves separation between conceptual meaning, logical structure, implementation mapping, deployment mechanics, testability, and evidence.
Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:
This requirement supports traceability from conceptual meaning through logical modeling, implementation mapping, deployment realization, verification, and evidence collection.
