Architecture Review / Evolution / Governance Artifacts
Every principle in this category is listed as a record. Each record carries its kind, its severity, the scopes it applies at and the layer it lives in, then the edge relations that join it to other records, the records that point back at it, the contracts that answer to it and the tensions it takes part in. The descriptors say how it is violated, detected, measured, repaired and enforced. Where the record carries one, an exemplar shows the shape before and after the principle is applied.
