# Architecture

### **The architecture is the structural logic of the framework as a whole.**

Core Concepts gather the foundational ideas. Architecture shows how those ideas hold together as a navigable structure. The taxonomy, the hierarchy levels, the design principles, the patterns that let twelve domains coordinate across radically different contexts and scales.

Architecture is what allows a community in coastal Norway and a community in Sri Lanka to use the same twelve horizons, populated with their own specifics, and coordinate across the difference. The structure is the interoperability.
