The functional gap

Understanding that cannot leave the system is of little use, and understanding that leaves without its context is dangerous. What is handed on has to keep its meaning.

From inputs to outputs

Takes in

  • States with their confidence and source
  • Rules for who may receive what
  • The format a receiving system expects

Does

Delivers states through governed interfaces and carries confidence, source and age with each one, so the receiver can see how far to rely on it.

Hands on

  • States with their context attached
  • Access that follows the rules set for each receiver
  • A record of what was handed on, and to whom

Evidence attachment RD07Data status: IllustrativeEvidence level: E0 · ConceptQuestion answered: What evidence stands behind a state?A state is linked to its evidence, its method and its limitation by three short connectors. The link appears once and stays; it implies no proof by itself.Limitation: The linked items are examples. Real links point to documented records.

A worked example

Three steps from a synthetic scenario, in relative terms.

Data flow CH13Data status: IllustrativeEvidence level: E0 · ConceptQuestion answered: How does data flow through the architecture?A pipeline of six stages, from sources to audit, shows how data moves through the model, the policy and the interface to the consumer, with a record kept at the end.Limitation: A conceptual flow. It does not describe a deployed system.

Confidence and uncertainty in this function

Delivered states keep their confidence and unknown parts, and an interface may not remove either to make the data look cleaner.

Evidence and maturity

This page claims nothing above the level of the projects it rests on.

What this does not claim

  • The page describes a governed interface in principle; it publishes no endpoint, schema or key.
  • No integration with any named system is claimed.
  • Handing a state on does not hand on responsibility for how it is used.
