Framework admission protocol (FAP)

Framework Admission Protocol (FAP)

Status:

Proposed governance document associated with the Lexicon, OAP, Matrix, and FAH.

Purpose:

The Framework Admission Protocol (FAP) governs the onboarding of frameworks into the interoperability environment (Ai).

The protocol exists to preserve provenance, authorship, declared scope, residual structure, failure conditions, admissibility status, and framework-specific terminology prior to interoperability analysis.

Admission Workflow:

1. Framework Submission (online-automated)

A framework, theory, model, governance architecture, classification system, platform architecture, or interoperability structure is submitted for consideration.

2. O0 (capital letter O number zero) Declaration:

The framework originator (or authorised contributor) provides a declaration containing:

• provenance,
• authorship,
• scope,
• framework type,
• residual status,
• failure conditions,
• framework-specific terminology,
• interoperability cautions.

3. Review Questions

Clarifying questions may be issued to localise:

• primitive assumptions,
• operators,
• admissibility conditions,
• reconstruction chains,
• bridge conditions,
• unresolved residuals,
• framework classification.

4. Bridge Analysis

Operational overlap, divergence, projection-loss, residual structure, and admissible mappings are identified where appropriate.

No equivalence, containment, or reduction claim is assumed by admission.

5. Lexicon Entry

A framework declaration is created within the Lexicon.

Framework-specific candidate terms may be recorded.

6. Framework Admissibility History (FAH)

Where admission introduces admissibility-relevant transitions, corresponding FAH records may be created.

7. Matrix Placement

Framework relationships, bridge cases, interoperability classifications, and comparison results may be recorded within the Operational Admissibility Matrix.

8. Ongoing Review

Framework entries remain revisable.

Admission does not imply endorsement, correctness, equivalence, completeness, or empirical confirmation.

Status Categories:

Candidate

Framework admitted for comparison but undergoing review.

Reviewed

Framework entry has completed initial review.

Bridged

At least one admissible bridge case has been documented.

Mature

Framework possesses stable declarations, residuals, and interoperability documentation.

Closed

Framework no longer undergoing active revision.

Notes:

Framework admission is an interoperability action rather than a validation procedure.

The purpose of admission is to preserve distinctions, provenance, and comparison conditions.
