  constraints:
    - "All relationship endpoints must resolve to declared entities of compatible types."
    - "Confidence and evidence reliability values must lie within [0,1]."
    - "Dependencies do not automatically imply equivalence, causation or ownership."
    - "Distinguish implementations from specifications and interfaces from protocols."
    - "A system satisfying a requirement requires applicable verification evidence."
    - "Do not infer security or correctness from architecture labels alone."
    - "Preserve software versions, execution environment and temporal context."
    - "Subdomain hierarchy must be acyclic unless explicitly modelled as a non-hierarchical mapping."
    - "Cross-domain mappings must state whether exact, close, broader, narrower or related."

  inference:
    rule subdomain_transitivity:
      if subdomain_of(a,b) and subdomain_of(b,c)
      then subdomain_of(a,c)
      guard: "a != c and taxonomy_valid(a,b,c)"
    rule dependency_path:
      if depends_on(a,b) and depends_on(b,c)
      then indirect_dependency(a,c)
      guard: "a != c; preserve intermediate path"
    rule requirement_evidence:
      if satisfies(s,r) and verified_by(r,e) and valid(e)
      then supported_satisfaction(s,r,e)
      guard: "verification scope matches system version and operating context"
    rule interface_compatibility:
      if implements(a,i) and compatible(i,j) and implements(b,j)
      then potential_interoperability(a,b)
      guard: "do not assert operational interoperability without test evidence"

  SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE:
    - "Resolve canonical identifiers within versioned domain vocabularies."
    - "Keep exact equivalence separate from similarity, implementation, dependency and relatedness."
    - "Preserve context, versions and mapping provenance across disciplines."

  CONFIDENCE:
    range: [0,1]
    factors: [source_reliability, test_coverage, reproducibility, version_match, contextual_fit, independent_evidence]
    policy: "Evidence-backed assessments; do not inflate confidence through repeated inference or duplicate sources."

  VALIDATION:
    - "Check entity types, references, relation signatures and required provenance."
    - "Check version compatibility, interface contracts and execution context."
    - "Detect contradictory assertions, circular taxonomy and unsupported security claims."
    - "Retain competing hypotheses when evidence is insufficient."

  FLOW_HASH:
    algorithm: "SHA-256"
    input: "canonicalised ontology version, entities, assertions, inference rules and provenance"
    note: "Calculate on execution; no precomputed hash is asserted."

  UPDATE_MODEL:
    strategy: "versioned, provenance-preserving incremental update"
    steps: [ingest, normalise, type_check, validate, compare_versions, reconcile, recompute_inferences, publish]
    rollback: true

  AI_CONSUMPTION:
    representation: "typed, versioned computing-domain knowledge graph"
    outputs: [domain_taxonomy, entity_links, relationship_triples, dependency_paths, evidence_records, inferred_edges, uncertainty_annotations]
    safeguards: [preserve_provenance, avoid_unverified_security_claims, avoid_false_equivalence, respect_version_boundaries]
