P2-REQ-16-6-001

Return to Requirements

The Logical Architecture / PIM SHALL define the following Logical Runtime Planes:

• Logical Control Plane
• Logical Data Plane
• Logical Health and Observability Plane
• Logical Policy and Release Plane
• Logical Audit and Provenance Plane

Part 2, Section 16.6: Logical Runtime Plane Requirements.

The Logical Runtime Plane Model separates architectural responsibilities according to purpose rather than implementation. Defining a standard set of Logical Runtime Planes provides a common architectural foundation for organizing interactions, governance, traceability, and information movement while preserving platform independence.

This requirement applies to the Logical Runtime Plane Model.

It applies specifically to:

• Logical Runtime Planes;
• Logical Nodes;
• Logical Interaction Patterns; and
• Domain Logical Profiles.

Verification SHALL confirm that the Logical Architecture / PIM defines each required Logical Runtime Plane.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• each Logical Runtime Plane is explicitly defined;
• each Runtime Plane has a distinct architectural purpose;
• Runtime Planes remain platform independent; and
• Domain Logical Profiles preserve the inherited Runtime Plane definitions.

This requirement supports traceability between Logical Runtime Planes, Logical Interaction Patterns, and Logical Nodes.
