Protocol
Structural architecture of BeaconCore.
A minimal set of sealed artifacts forming a complete invariant system.
Structural Invariant — Protocol
The Protocol defines the structural primitives, boundaries, and artifact relationships that form the BeaconCore architecture. It expresses configuration rather than behaviour.
Architecture
The BeaconCore Protocol defines primitives, boundaries, record geometry, and provenance structure.
Each artifact remains distinct and non‑overlapping. Together, they form a single structural identity.
This surface describes structure only and does not expose mechanisms.
For the structural map of the system:
Open System Overview →
Codex
Structural definitions, primitives, and constraints.
The Codex defines system structure.
Registry
Canonical placement of surfaces, boundaries, and relationships.
The Registry defines system interfaces.
Ledger
Records of architectural configuration and structural change.
The Ledger preserves continuity.
Provenance Plate
Origin geometry, structural identity, and provenance.
The Provenance Plate anchors identity.
Structural Relationships
The Protocol defines how artifacts relate at the structural level.
- Codex → Registry — definitions inform placement.
- Registry → Ledger — placements are recorded.
- Ledger → Provenance — continuity aligns with origin.
These relationships describe configuration only.
Structural Boundaries
Each artifact retains a distinct structural role:
- Definitions reside within the Codex.
- Interfaces reside within the Registry.
- Records reside within the Ledger.
- Identity resides within the Provenance Plate.
These separations preserve architectural clarity.
Canonical Statement
The Protocol defines the structural primitives and artifact relationships that form the BeaconCore architecture. It is minimal, stable, and structurally bound.
