# Strata — map

Up: [the site map](/llms.txt). Everything in one file: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt).

The page, as Markdown: [Strata, the architectural governance plane](/strata.md).

## The eight strata

- **S0. Intent** — Why the practice exists
- **S1. Fundamentum** — Principles, constraints, and charters
- **S2. Normae** — Adopted frameworks, standards, and maturity models
- **S3. Vocabula** — Shared language: ontology, taxonomy, lexicon, semantics
- **S4. Corpus** — The governed record
- **S5. Auctoritas** — Authorization, contracts, and briefs
- **S6. Operationes** — Live systems, tools, and execution
- **S7. Observatio** — Reports, gaps, results, feedback
