Architecture as counter-force to entropy

The Canonical Pipeline

Every event follows the same path. No step may be skipped. No step may absorb the responsibility of another.

An Event Traverses the Field

Each particle activates in sequence.

1
Boson

External system sends a webhook. Boson validates identity, assigns CorrelationId, wraps into EventEnvelope, signs with HMAC. Returns 202.

2
Fermion

Fermion verifies HMAC, invokes Quark to parse the typed domain event, then consults Higgs for policy.

3
Higgs

“Tenant X wants to execute Action Y — allowed?” Higgs evaluates and returns PolicyDecision with effective config and redaction rules.

4
Hadron

Fermion builds the ActionPlan, records step state in Hadron for durability, emits decision record to Neutrino.

5
Photon

For each Action in the plan: Photon resolves credentials, executes the typed connector, classifies the result.

6
Neutrino

Every decision, action, and outcome is recorded in Neutrino’s append-only audit ledger. Full trace available.

The Names Are Not Decorative

Each name encodes what the service does and — critically — what it must never do.

Can Neutrino reject an event?
Neutrinos don’t interact with matter. Neutrino observes; it does not mutate.
Can Boson decide routing?
Bosons carry forces; they don’t decide trajectories. That’s Fermion’s job.
Can Photon check policy?
Photons execute; they don’t govern. Higgs governs.
Can Fermion hold durable state?
Fermions are stateless deciders. Hadron holds durable state.
Where does tenant config live?
The Higgs field gives particles their properties. Tenant config lives in Higgs.

Entropy Is the Default

Without a field — without canonical paths, enforced boundaries, and immutable audit — systems trend toward disorder.

AI Governance

Route AI requests through a governed pipeline. Policy is evaluated before execution. Every decision, action, and outcome is auditable.
