PRIMARY_ENTITY
    Systems Integration

PARENT_ONTOLOGY
    Systems Engineering

CORE_DEFINITION
    Systems Integration is the systems-engineering discipline concerned
    with combining components, subsystems, hardware, software, interfaces
    and enabling elements into progressively complete system configurations
    and verifying that their interactions and combined behaviours satisfy
    defined integration requirements.

CORE_COMPONENTS
    Integration Item
    Component
    Subsystem
    Interface
    Interface Requirement
    Integration Sequence
    Integration Configuration
    Integration Environment
    Integration Test
    Interface Verification
    Defect
    Integration Evidence
    Integration Baseline

SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE
    Systems Integration approximately_equals Controlled Assembly and Verification of Interacting System Elements
    Integration does_not_equal Assembly alone
    Interface Connection does_not_equal Interface Compatibility
    Component Verification does_not_equal Integrated-system Verification
    Integration Test does_not_equal System Validation
    Interface Availability does_not_equal Interface Correctness

RELATIONSHIPS
    Systems Engineering contains Systems Integration Ontology
    System Architecture defines Components and Interfaces
    Integration Plan defines Integration Sequence
    Integration Item participates_in Integration Configuration
    Interface connects Components or Subsystems
    Interface Requirement constrains Interaction
    Integration Test exercises Combined Behaviour
    Interface Verification evaluates Interface against Requirement
    Defect identifies Integration Failure
    Integration Evidence supports Integration State
    Integration Baseline identifies Verified Integrated Configuration

CONSTRAINTS
    Integration and physical assembly must remain distinct.
    Interface connection and interface compatibility must remain distinct.
    Component verification and integrated-system verification must remain distinct.
    Integration testing and system validation must remain distinct.
    Interface availability and interface correctness must remain distinct.
    Component, subsystem and interface versions must remain explicit.
    Integration configuration and baseline must remain explicit.
    Integration sequence and dependency order must remain explicit.
    Test environment and test configuration must remain explicit.
    Provenance, uncertainty and confidence must remain preserved.

INFERENCE_RULES
    IF Component A AND Component B
    AND Interface I connects A to B
    AND Interface Requirements are compatible
    THEN integration_candidate_possible A -> I -> B

    IF Interface is physically connected
    THEN DO_NOT_INFER Interface Behaviour is correct

    IF Individual Components pass Verification
    THEN DO_NOT_INFER Integrated Configuration passes Verification

    IF Integration Test passes
    THEN integration_requirement_support_possible True
    BUT_NOT System Validation

    IF Component Version changes
    THEN affected_interface_and_integration_evidence_requires Applicability Review

    IF Interface Version changes
    THEN dependent_integration_tests_require Applicability Review

    IF Integration Baseline changes
    THEN previous_system-level evidence_requires Applicability Review

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Systems Integration combines system elements in a controlled sequence
    and verifies that their interfaces and combined behaviours satisfy
    defined requirements. Reliable reasoning preserves component,
    subsystem and interface versions, dependency order, integration
    configurations, test environments, defects, retests and baselines
    while distinguishing physical connection from verified compatibility
    and successful integration testing from complete system validation.
