13.5 Runtime Plane Requirements

Go to Conceptual Requirements

This section identifies the normative requirements for runtime planes established by Part 1. The canonical requirement statements are maintained in Annex C: Requirements, Part 1.

Table 13.5-1: Part 1 runtime plane requirements.

Requirement ID	Statement
P1-REQ-13-5-001	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL define the following conceptual Runtime Planes: Control Plane, Data Plane, Health and Observability Plane, Policy and Release Plane, and Audit and Provenance Plane.
P1-REQ-13-5-002	The Control Plane SHALL support operational coordination among Nodes.
P1-REQ-13-5-003	The Data Plane SHALL carry Domain and analytical information among Nodes.
P1-REQ-13-5-004	The Health and Observability Plane SHALL support observation of operational condition and behavior.
P1-REQ-13-5-005	The Policy and Release Plane SHALL support governed access, disclosure, safeguarding, and release of information.
P1-REQ-13-5-006	The Audit and Provenance Plane SHALL support auditability, provenance, lineage, reconstruction, and defensibility.
P1-REQ-13-5-007	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL distinguish Runtime Planes from implementation mechanisms.
P1-REQ-13-5-008	The Conceptual Architecture SHALL NOT treat a Runtime Plane as a DDS Domain, DDS Topic, DDS partition, Kubernetes namespace, network segment, container group, security zone, or deployment environment.
P1-REQ-13-5-009	Cross-plane relationships SHALL preserve the distinct architectural purpose of each Runtime Plane involved.
P1-REQ-13-5-010	Cross-plane relationships SHALL be Traceable when they affect Governance and Authority, release, recovery, auditability, provenance, or Evidence.
P1-REQ-13-5-011	The Policy and Release Plane SHALL support conceptual separation between full transaction detail, transaction metadata, aggregate summaries, derived indicators, redacted views, masked views, exception views, and full-detail release views.
P1-REQ-13-5-012	The Policy and Release Plane SHALL support data sovereignty and data residency as conceptual release and movement concerns.
P1-REQ-13-5-013	The Policy and Release Plane SHALL support policy-governed release without requiring all protected information to pass through a single central policy mechanism.
P1-REQ-13-5-014	The Policy and Release Plane SHALL support later logical realization through policy enforcement, policy decision, policy administration, policy information, obligation, release, and audit/evidence capabilities.
P1-REQ-13-5-015	The Policy and Release Plane SHALL NOT treat metadata release or aggregate release as authorization to release full transaction detail.
