A6— SSysDM Canonical JSON Schemas

5 min read

This artifact is the centralized master index for all SSysDM system symbols, definitions, and artifact structures. It acts as the “source of truth” for every object within the SSysDM, because as its Canonical Symbol & Artifact Registry, A6 serves as the primary registry for the SSysDM Execution Model.

It is a node mandating the naming conventions, taxonomy, and classification protocols for every artifact, schema, and operational symbol used within the sovereign system‘s architecture. Its primary function is to prevent naming collisions and enforce systemic integrity across the engineering layer.


Constitutional Status #

These schemas represent the first implementation-grade rendering of the A6 Canonical Memory Object framework.

This release intentionally freezes only the artifacts whose constitutional semantics are already stable:

The following artifacts remain deferred pending A8 parameterization stabilization:

5. IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE #

Canonical Serialization Rules #

All schemas must serialize according to:

  • UTF-8 encoding
  • NFC normalization
  • Immutable field ordering
  • Explicit null representation
  • ISO-8601 UTC timestamps
  • Zero optional whitespace in signed payloads

Constitutional Interpretation Rule #

If implementation convenience conflicts with constitutional determinism:

  • Determinism prevails.
  • Integrity prevails over throughput.
  • Halting prevails over speculative execution.
