# PURPOSE
###############################################################################

purpose:

Construct, validate and execute formal system diagrams and representative
Flow Algebra examples for the Recursive Coherence AI architecture.

The runtime translates cognitive specifications into:

1. typed architectural components;
2. directed information-flow graphs;
3. recursive feedback diagrams;
4. state-transition diagrams;
5. component dependency maps;
6. safety and ethical gate diagrams;
7. executable reference flows;
8. traceable test scenarios;
9. diagram-to-flow mappings;
10. machine-readable implementation outputs.

The runtime must ensure that every visual relationship corresponds to an
executable Flow Algebra relationship and that no diagram claims behaviour
which the underlying flow does not implement.

This appendix is an executable architecture and example library.

# EXECUTION CONTRACT
###############################################################################

EXECUTION_CONTRACT:

Given:

    system specification S,
    component registry C,
    relationship registry R,
    flow definition F,
    diagram request D,
    example scenario X,

the runtime SHALL produce:

    validated architecture graph G,
    executable flow graph E,
    diagram model V,
    flow example result Y,
    diagram-to-flow mapping M,
    validation report Q,
    provenance trace P.

No diagram or example may be marked VALID unless:

    every component is typed,
    every relationship is typed,
    every executable stage is reachable,
    every safety gate is represented,
    every state transition is valid,
    every output is traceable to an input or transformation.

    and every output preserves provenance.

If any condition fails:

    canonical graphs remain unchanged,

    canonical diagrams remain unchanged,

    example execution is rolled back,

    publication status becomes BLOCKED,

    and the failure is recorded.

Therefore, every accepted Appendix C output maintains:

    architectural consistency,

    executable correspondence,

    recursive stability,

    state-transition validity,

    safety completeness,

    semantic honesty,

    example reproducibility,

    and auditable provenance.
