Reading the Diagram

  • PSP controls permission and direction
  • DIDP controls execution
  • PPP controls disclosure
  • Docs explain outcomes, not authority

Authority flows downward; explanation flows outward.

Flow Rules

  1. A proposal that conflicts with PSP MAY NOT proceed to development
  2. A developed artifact that conflicts with DIDP MAY NOT converge
  3. A converged artifact that conflicts with PPP MAY NOT be published

Key Principle

Propose → Develop → Publish

Nothing becomes canonical without passing through all three gates.
