11.2 Conceptual Elements Remain Distinct

Go to Top

The Financial Systems Archetype keeps core conceptual elements distinct.

A Node is not a Node Role. A Node Identity is not a container name. A Communication Endpoint is not the Data Structure Instance it carries. A Data Structure Definition is not a Data Structure Instance. A Runtime Plane is not a DDS Domain, DDS partition, Kubernetes namespace, or network segment.

Maintaining these distinctions allows later parts to map concepts to technologies without losing the conceptual meaning.
