Surfaces
The external articulation layer of BeaconCore.
Surfaces define how the system presents, communicates, and interfaces with the world.
Definition
A surface is any boundary where BeaconCore expresses structure outwardly.
Surfaces are not features or implementations; they are controlled points of articulation.
Canonical Surfaces
Input Surface
The ingress boundary.
Structured, minimal, and free of interpretation.
Shaping Surface
The internal constraint layer.
Inputs are aligned, clarified, and prepared for correct expression.
Interpretation Exclusion Surface
The protective boundary that prevents narrative drift, speculation, or unintended inference.
Ensures BeaconCore remains structural, not interpretive.
Output Surface
The egress boundary.
Clear, minimal, and aligned with the system’s governing primitives.
Sentinel Capture
Doctrine
Surfaces exist to preserve clarity and prevent drift.
They are not aesthetic layers; they are structural boundaries.
Each surface must remain minimal, intentional, and aligned with the protocol.
