# Independence

Record: `arch:independence`
Kind: principle
Layer: [Structural Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/structural-core.md)
Severity: recommended
Scope: module, service, deployment
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#arch-independence

## Repair

- Refactored by: Split Boundary, Introduce Events, Decouple Persistence
- Detected by: shared mutable resources, deployment coupling
- Violated by: shared database coupling, synchronous dependency chains
- Measured by: independent deployability, dependency count
- Enforced by: deployment rules, service ownership
