+===== Discussion =====
+Formal semantics defines the meaning of architectural constructs precisely and unambiguously.
+Formal semantics separates meaning from implementation syntax, storage technology, programming language, exchange mechanism, deployment environment, or runtime platform.
+Formal semantics supports consistent interpretation across implementations, tools, organizations, and governance contexts. It provides a basis for traceability, conformance evaluation, controlled interpretation, and semantic consistency within the [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]].

+===== Note =====
+Formal semantics provides the basis for consistent interpretation and conformance evaluation across implementation technologies.
+===== Example =====
+A [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]] defines the meaning of an [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:attachment_point]], [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_point]], lifecycle state, or governed artifact independently of the software mechanism that implements it.
