Commitments
What must hold for these shapes to mean anything
A commitment is an agreement to use these shapes coherently — not a preference, and not an industry standard. Each answers a question a foundation asks, is derived from published sources, and says whether a build check proves it. What it has not committed to stays visibly uncommitted.
- enforcedDeclare measurement grain before calculation
proved by calculation and projection integrity · distinct definitions - enforcedCampaign is the accountable initiative
proved by typed relationships · the hierarchy holds - enforcedStore one canonical relationship assertion
proved by canonical graph integrity - enforcedSeparate executable actions, observed events and consumer actor grain
proved by typed relationships · event grain - [object Object]Use external content taxonomy as a mapping, not mastery
guidance — no check tests it - enforcedKeep audience eligibility, preference and permission basis distinct
proved by admission and shape · semantic distinction · distinct definitions - enforcedMake outcome quality, calculation method and attribution inspectable
proved by calculation and projection integrity - enforcedModel offer as the governed value exchange
proved by typed relationships - enforcedScope activation and calculation explicitly in time and geography
proved by typed relationships - enforcedKeep concrete creative separate from its classifications
proved by admission and shape · stable identifiers · typed relationships - enforcedA journey is a state machine, not a funnel picture
proved by typed relationships · distinct definitions · journey integrity - enforcedDelivery custody is a named chain, not one vendor field
proved by typed relationships - enforcedA metric exists because a question needs it
proved by typed relationships - enforcedCreative form is constrained by where it is delivered
proved by typed relationships - enforcedProvenance and conformance are read apart
proved by citation coverage - enforcedA commitment says whether the build proves it
proved by governance classification · Gate coverage - enforcedA relationship says what kind of claim it makes
proved by relational claim - enforcedThe reverse reading is named, not improvised
proved by named inverse - enforcedAn exemplar shows the shape a record takes
proved by exemplar admission - enforcedKnowledge enters as a term or an assertion, never as a new field
proved by licensed fields - enforcedState and intent are read against one ordered lifecycle
proved by lifecycle ladder · journey integrity - enforcedEvery term is about something in the world
proved by typed relationships - enforcedA declared path must be walkable
proved by spine integrity · journey integrity · row participation · kernel integrity - enforcedA move that cannot be counted is a picture
proved by move propagation - enforcedA question the graph answers is declared, and walked
proved by Pattern integrity - enforcedA reading names its unit, and the unit fits its form
proved by unit agreement - enforcedA target is a level on a reading, due within a window
proved by target coherence - enforcedA term may be known by other names, and they are labels, not terms
proved by label integrity - enforcedAn identifier names one thing, and never a second
proved by stable identifiers - enforcedThe ground has one schema, and it is data
proved by licensed fields · the form ring · the files ring · the artifact ring - enforcedThe model is written in the standards its foundations name
proved by the standards ring - enforcedAn address is a label's, made once
proved by address integrity · the site ring - enforcedThe proof runs without a hand
proved by the laws bite · the record is the build · the host is the build · the engine agrees with itself - enforcedA page is shareable as itself
proved by the site ring - enforcedThe design is measured, not asserted
proved by the design ring - enforcedThe prose says what the registry says
proved by the prose ring - enforcedA view is one concept, over one primitive
proved by Views compose - enforcedOne engine, and a second runtime of it is a port under proof
proved by the engine agrees with itself - enforcedGovernance and execution share one substrate
proved by Vocabularies are governed · The host answers from the law - enforcedThe operations an agent may drive are declared
proved by the site ring · the engine agrees with itself - enforcedEverything composed is a composition of known parts, at every level
proved by Views compose · address integrity - enforcedA composition a reader manifests has an address, is held before it binds, and enters the ground only by proposal
proved by the engine agrees with itself · the site ring - enforcedAn answer the graph gives has an address
proved by the site ring · the engine agrees with itself - enforcedA text answers one question, in the reader's words
proved by prose answers one question each · the site ring - enforcedProse names only what the registry holds
proved by references resolve · the site ring - enforcedA road declares its grain
proved by grain integrity - enforcedThe loop is law
proved by the loops close - enforcedA person is known at a declared level
proved by moves are identified - enforcedCause is read by a declared design
proved by kernel integrity · spine integrity - enforcedEvery road answers a competency question
proved by roads are walked - enforcedA person-level record has a declared shape
proved by record shapes hold · the standards ring - enforcedA value a plan fixes is a governed parameter
proved by spine integrity · the loops close · roads are walked · record shapes hold - enforcedA deliverable is a method the industry already writes
proved by citation coverage · Views compose - enforcedA question in a reader’s words is answered with an address
