Instruments

This section contains versioned architectural instruments derived from the three research vectors outlined in the Research section. Each artefact represents an applied expression of the developing architectural grammar and will be published as a working model intended for application, testing, and refinement.

ADM-01 — Architectural Dependency Mapping (v0.1)

A Boundary-Centered Instrument for Assessing Governability in Hybrid Systems

Instrument Intent: ADM-01 provides a boundary-centered methodology to diagnose where technical complexity erodes institutional agency. By mapping dependencies across five structural layers, it identifies the Governability State (I – V) of critical functions.
