How the model is held together

Every shape on this site means something because of what is gathered here. The commitments say what must hold; the sources are what they were derived from; the foundations are the questions they answer; the relationships are every way one kind may speak of another; and the checks prove it on every build.

• Commitments

  What must hold for these shapes to mean anything: the 54 commitments this model is bound by, each derived from published sources and, where the build can test it, proven on every build.

  54 in all

• Sources

  The 77 published standards and foundational practices this model is built from. A source licenses a design determination; it never establishes a fact about any operation.

  77 in all

• Foundations

  The 12 foundations beneath the model: the questions its commitments answer, grouped by layer.

  12 in all

• Relationships

  Every verb one kind may use of another: 94 verbs, each stored once and read back by its named inverse, each saying what kind of claim it makes.

  94 in all

• Build checks

  The 37 checks that run on every build. A commitment that names one is proven rather than asserted.
