Return to Part 1 Requirements

Statement

A Runtime Plane SHALL classify runtime communication and behaviour by architectural purpose.

Source

Part 1, Section 13.4: Core Conceptual Element Requirements.

Rationale

A Runtime Plane groups runtime communication and behaviour according to architectural purpose. This classification supports separation of concerns across data exchange, control, health and observability, policy and release, audit and provenance, and other governed runtime purposes.

This requirement prevents runtime concerns with different purposes from becoming indistinct or unmanaged.

Applies To

This requirement applies to Runtime Plane definitions and references within the Conceptual Architecture.

It applies specifically to:

Runtime communicationRuntime behaviourArchitectural purposePlane separationPlane-related traceability

Verification

Verification SHALL confirm that each Runtime Plane classifies runtime communication and behaviour by architectural purpose.

Verification activities include review checks confirming that:

Runtime Plane descriptions identify architectural purposeRuntime communication maps to an appropriate Runtime PlaneRuntime behaviour maps to an appropriate Runtime PlaneRuntime Planes remain distinct from implementation technologies and deployment boundaries
