Statement
The DIDO-TE SHALL identify the interactions permitted among entities participating in each Twin Relationship.

Rationale
A Twin Relationship may involve multiple forms of interaction, including observation, information exchange, synchronization, simulation, invocation, or state-changing operations.
The existence of a Twin Relationship does not grant unrestricted authority to perform every technically possible interaction.
Explicit identification of permitted interactions establishes the semantic and governance boundary for interaction among participating Twin Realizations, Nodes, and other Resources.
Technical connectivity, DDS discovery, Topic matching, API availability, or compatible Quality of Service characteristics do not establish interaction permission.
The governing Configuration provides the controlled basis for identifying the interactions permitted by the Twin Relationship.
Applies To
Verification
Verification confirms that:
-
Each Twin Relationship identifies the interactions permitted among its participating entities.
-
Each permitted interaction identifies the participating entities to which the permission applies.
-
An interaction not identified as permitted is distinguishable from a permitted interaction.
-
Technical connectivity, discovery, Topic matching, API availability, or Quality of Service compatibility does not by itself establish interaction permission.
-
The identified interaction permissions are traceable to the governing Configuration.
Verification includes a Twin Relationship with at least one permitted interaction and at least one technically possible interaction that is not permitted, and confirms that the two are distinguishable.
Traceability
ConOps Relationship
This requirement establishes the set of interactions permitted within a Twin Relationship before evaluating the direction, authorization, or execution of those interactions.
