DFT Architecture
The public DFT architecture is organized through four functional layers:
| Layer | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| DFDF | Digital Fabric Definition Framework | Defines fabrics, fibers, bindings, routes, and transformation rules |
| FNS | Fabric Network Stack | Organizes inter-fabric communication, identity, state, and interoperability |
| IDFF | Interoperable Digital Fabric Framework | Describes how separate fabrics coordinate without collapsing into one authority |
| SIDS | Sovereign Intelligent Data Systems | Defines evidence-aware, governance-aware, agent-ready data systems |
These layers are architecture models and formalization targets. They are not presented as certified standards, audited security guarantees, or externally validated production specifications unless separately documented.
Architecture map
The four-layer DFT stack
The DFT architecture stack moves from definition to network coherence, interoperability, and intelligent data systems. These are architecture models and formalization targets, not certified standards.
Layer 1
DFDF
Digital Fabric Definition Framework
definition
Defines fabrics, fibers, bindings, routes, transformations, and failure modes.
Layer 2
FNS
Fabric Network Stack
network
Organizes communication, identity transport, state exchange, and network coherence.
Layer 3
IDFF
Interoperable Digital Fabric Framework
interoperability
Coordinates separate fabrics without collapsing sovereignty or governance boundaries.
Layer 4
SIDS
Sovereign Intelligent Data Systems
intelligence
Creates evidence-aware, governance-aware, agent-ready data systems.
Fabric primitive model
What makes a system a fabric?
A DFT fabric is a governed relational structure. The primitive model below provides the minimum public vocabulary for theory, architecture, applications, and implementations.
Binding
rule connecting fibers into a stable relation
Route
permitted path of movement or transformation
Invariant
property preserved under allowed transformations
Evidence
record that makes state, action, or authorship inspectable
Boundary
limit condition controlling claims, access, or validation
14D Semantic Architecture
The DFT 14D ontology is a semantic architecture model that groups dimensions into spatial, topological, governance, economic, and cross-dimensional data classes. It is used for systems mapping and formalization, and is not presented as accepted physics.
14D tensor ontology
A semantic map for fabric architecture
The 14D ontology organizes DFT architecture into spatial, topological, governance, economic, and cross-dimensional data bands. It is used as a semantic model for systems design and formalization.
| Dimensions | Band | Tensor class | Role | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | Spatial Interface | Metric Tensor / Position Vector | Models physical location, virtual node placement, UI/UX anchoring, and spatial mapping. | Architecture mapping only unless tied to a measured physical system. |
| 4–7 | Topological Network | Laplacian / Adjacency / Spectral Gap | Models graph connectivity, contract relations, resilience, and topology. | Claims of security or resilience require implementation-specific evidence. |
| 8–10 | Governance and Compliance | Modular Congruence / Ethical Functor / Knot Invariant | Models policy alignment, compliance constraints, and governance transformations. | Not a certification or legal compliance claim without external review. |
| 11–13 | Economic and Resource Logic | Riemann Zeta / Modular Theta / Partition Function | Models token supply, voting weight, resource allocation, and valuation structures. | Economic formulas are design models unless backed by deployment data. |
| 14 | Cross-Dimensional Data Gradient | Gradient Tensor | Models cross-domain data interaction among spatial, digital, governance, and economic states. | Formalization target requiring specification and review. |
Fiber dynamics
Modeling fibers as dynamic system units
In DFT, a fiber can represent contract logic, data flow, organizational behavior, governance state, or evidence movement. Fiber dynamics provide a source-bounded formalization target for describing how these units change and interact.
Canonical fiber vector
F = [T, E, L, O, ρ]
Boundary: The fiber vector is a DFT modeling construct for public explanation and future formalization. It is not presented as externally validated science.
T
Tension
Represents computational, organizational, or operational load on a fiber.
E
Elasticity
Represents adaptability of a fiber to context change, load shift, or governance update.
L
Length / Scope
Represents the complexity, reach, or operational span of a fiber.
O
Orientation
Represents alignment of one fiber with another fiber, rule, route, or governance state.
ρ
Density
Represents data, resources, or state concentration inside a fiber.
Fabric Tension
T_fabric = (1/N) Σ T_i
Aggregate load across a fabric.
Boundary: Formalization target.
Fabric Elasticity
E_fabric = Π E_i^ω_i
Aggregate adaptability across weighted fibers.
Boundary: Formalization target.
Resonance Condition
F_i · F_j
Coherence or conflict between two fiber states.
Boundary: Formalization target.
Entanglement Score
Φ_fabric = 1/(N(N-1)) Σ |F_i · F_j|
Proposed cohesion score across interacting fibers.
Boundary: Review-needed metric.
