11.11 Conceptual Constraints Summary

Go to Top

The Conceptual Architecture applies the following constraints:

1. Conceptual elements remain distinct from one another.
2. Conceptual architecture does not prescribe execution granularity, deployment granularity, communication technology, interface style, Data serialisation format, or runtime packaging.
3. Classification values identify business and Semantic scope, not Runtime boundaries.
4. Runtime Planes classify architectural purpose, not implementation mechanisms.
5. Implementation mappings realize concepts; they do not redefine them.
6. Deployment artifacts execute implementations; they do not redefine concepts or logical elements.
7. Evidence supports claims; it does not replace claims.
8. Traceability preserves relationships across layers.
9. Local profiles preserve parent meaning unless they explicitly define a controlled extension.
