Context

The current paradigm of enterprise software is characterized by fragmented knowledge, architectural decay, and reactive governance. Intent is lost in translation between documents and code.

Decision

We adopt the following non-negotiable principles as the executable DNA of the SEA-Forge™ platform:

  1. Semantics Are the Source of Truth: All enterprise behavior originates from the executable domain model, not from code or documents.
  2. Code Is a Projection, Not the Model: The system writes the code from the semantic model, making implementation a reproducible artifact.
  3. Architecture Must Be Enforceable: Architectural rules are encoded and executed by the system, eliminating drift and ensuring integrity.
  4. Governance Must Accelerate, Not Constrain: Safety and compliance are continuous, real-time signals that enable speed, not impede it.
  5. Knowledge Is a Persistent, Executable Asset: Enterprise knowledge is managed as a computational graph, forming a persistent memory that enables reasoning and evolution.
  6. Intelligence Must Be Safe-By-Design: AI agents operate within an environment of formal guardrails, governed by semantic, architectural, and safety constraints.
  7. Evolution Must Be Continuous and Non-Destructive: The system is designed for safe, idempotent regeneration, making change a feature, not a failure.
