SDS-013: Semantic Execution System Architecture

Document Type

Software Design Specification (SDS) - System Architecture

Status

Draft

Purpose

Defines the high-level architecture of the Semantic Execution Stack, a computational paradigm where “meaning” (semantics) is the single source of truth, and code, infrastructure, and AI behavior are isomorphic projections.

Strategic Context: For the business vision and long-horizon implications, see VISION-002: Unified System Synthesis.


1. System Context (Level 1)

System Name: Isomorphic Semantic Execution System (ISES)

Primary Actors:

Core Subsystems:

  1. SEA™ (Semantic Execution Architecture): The operating substrate that makes semantics executable.
  2. DomainForge™: The meaning definition engine (Canonicalizer).
  3. VibesPro™: The projection and synthesis engine (Compiler).
  4. GovernedSpeed™: The policy enforcement plane.
  5. IAGPM: Governance air traffic control (NIST/ISO/PMI-framed decision rituals).

2. Container Architecture (Level 2)

Container Role Responsibility
SEA™ Semantic Utility Kernel Execution + Governance substrate.
DomainForge™ Semantic Canonicalizer Meaning definition + evolution + invariant enforcement.
VibesPro™ Isomorphic Compiler Projection + synthesis of code/manifests.
GovernedSpeed™ Policy Enforcement Plane Reconciliation of velocity vs. governance.
IAGPM Governance Controller Decision framework + accountability + compliance.

3. Component Architecture (Level 3)

3.1 DomainForge™ - The Semantic Brain

The canonical domain model and truth source for what the business is and does.

Component Description
Domain DSL The language for defining meaning
Entities Business actors, locations, systems
Resources Things of value (data, assets)
Flows Transactions, processes, events
Instances Traceable concrete items
Policies Constraints, obligations, permissions
Invariant Engine Enforces structural rules (e.g., “All payments must have a payer”)
Semantic Diff Calculates the meaning of a change, not just the text diff

Role in System: Single source of truth for business/domain model. “Schema of meaning” that everything else must obey.

3.2 SEA™ - The Sentient Operating System

The runtime & control plane where models, rules, architectures, agents, and feedback live.

Component Role
Semantic Core Manages DSL/SBVR, rules, consistency
Knowledge Graph Living graph of concepts and relationships
Cognitive Layer Context analysis, artifact generation, planning
CALM Architecture governance-as-code
Agents & Feedback Adaptive learning from usage
Flow Graph Engine Executes graph-based workflows
Policy Evaluator Continuous evaluation of semantic policies
Instance Ledger Tracks the state of all managed resources/entities

Role in System: Governance engine deciding what’s allowed to change. Memory & reflection layer for system self-awareness.

3.3 VibesPro™ - The Hexagonal Body Builder

The code synthesis & monorepo machine that generates implementations.

Component Description
Projection Engine Deterministically transforms Models → Artifacts
PortSpec Generator Creates interface contracts for Hexagonal Architecture
Regenerability Guard Ensures no manual edits break the projection link
Domain Packages DDD types, aggregates, domain services
Ports Hexagonal interfaces for external interaction
Adapters HTTP/gRPC, persistence, messaging
Tests Unit, integration, contract tests
CI Wiring GitHub Actions, Nx orchestration

Role in System: Reads DomainForge/SEA™ model via port-spec JSON, produces implementations SEA™ can introspect and govern.

3.4 GovernedSpeed™ - Runtime Delivery Guardrails

Pipelines, policies, and metrics ensuring safe, compliant delivery.

Component Description
Architecture Rules Encoded constraints (e.g., “No circular deps”)
CI/CD Enforcer Blocks pipelines on semantic violations
Sovereign Gate Handles manual override/sign-off flows
Pipeline Policies Automated gates and checks
Deployment Strategies Blue-green, canary, rollback
Metrics & SLOs Performance and reliability targets
Drift Detection Model-to-implementation alignment

3.5 IAGPM - Governance Air Traffic Control

NIST/ISO/PMI-framed decision rituals and accountability.

Component Description
Decision Framework Structured approval workflows
Accountability Maps Clear ownership chains
Compliance Integration Regulatory alignment
Program Governance Cross-project coordination

1. PRDs & Intent → DomainForge™
   ├── Extract Entities, Resources, Flows, Policies
   ├── Express in SEA™ DSL (versioned .dsl.yaml)
   └── Validate (no dangling references, policy conflicts)

2. DomainForge™ → SEA™
   ├── Semantic Core ingests as canonical meaning space
   ├── KGS mirrors into knowledge graph
   └── CALM defines architecture policies

3. DomainForge/SEA™ → VibesPro™
   ├── Project to port-spec (bounded contexts, aggregates, ports)
   └── Generate domain, adapters, persistence, APIs, tests, CI

4. VibesPro™ → SEA™ Runtime
   ├── Deploy into observable environment
   ├── Link to KGS & models for reasoning
   └── Govern via CALM + IFL + Identity Tokens

5. SEA™ Runtime → Feedback → DomainForge™
   ├── Gather usage patterns, failures
   ├── Propose model updates (human + agent)
   ├── Re-validate and regenerate
   └── Log to IFL, track with Identity Tokens

Result: Closed-loop self-architecting system

5. Developer Workflow

5.1 Change Flow

Change PRD → Update DomainForge™ Model → Re-run VibesPro™ Generators → All Projections Stay In Sync

# Validate DomainForge™ model
domainforge:validate

# Generate port spec from model
sea project --port-spec

# Sync domain code from model
pnpm nx domain:sync semantic-core

# Run full CI pipeline
sea pipeline:run --semantic --structural --behavioral

6. CI/CD Pipeline

6.1 Semantic CI/CD Stages

Stage Description
1. PRD → Model Validate DomainForge™ models parse and pass semantic validation
2. Model → Port Spec Regenerate intermediate spec, verify not hand-edited
3. Spec → Code Run VibesPro™ generators, confirm idempotency
4. HexDDD Policy Domain layer doesn’t depend on infra, ports follow conventions
5. Tests & Contracts Unit tests, contract tests, property-based tests
6. Deployment Only after all semantic, structural, behavioral checks pass

6.2 Self-Healing Mechanisms

Capability Mechanism
Model as Truth Detect divergence, regenerate from model
Infrastructure as Projection Change config, re-run generators
Runtime Checks Policies compiled into guards and alerts
Automated Repair Agent proposes fix → human approves → regenerate

6.3 Semantic Drift Prevention

Defense Description
Model-Centric Detection Disallow domain types not in model
PRD ↔ Model Alignment Highlight uncovered PRD sentences
Runtime Verification Log behavior vs model expectations
Strict Projection Rules Generators cannot invent domain primitives

7. Bounded Context Scaling

7.2 Scaling Strategy


8. Key Invariants

  1. Semantic Singularity: There is exactly one canonical definition of meaning (the Model).
  2. Isomorphism: All downstream artifacts (code, docs, infra) are projections of the Model.
  3. No Exceptions: Business meaning cannot exist outside the SEA-governed model.
  4. Regenerability: Code can be deleted and regenerated from the model at any time.
  5. Hexagonal Enforcement: Domain layers never depend on infrastructure.
