Structural Core

Kind: algorithm

Layer: Structural Core

Record: algorithms:structural-core

Canonical: Algorithms

Closure: Dependencies in load order

The architectural rules that preserve structural integrity — a single authoritative source, no shortcuts, no fallbacks, no duplication, no orphaned artifacts.

Listed in Algorithm contracts, after Architectural Relationship Algebra and before Correctness Core.
