State Through Time
STOIX preserves temporal context: what existed, what changed, what evidence was available, and what happened after an action.
STOIX Foundation
stoiXBase
A Common Foundation for Evidence, Decisions, Authority, and Verified Outcomes
stoiXBase connects external state, reasoning, governance, and outcome verification within a single architecture.
Foundation
Four Properties of stoiXBase
CAN ≠ MAY
CAN — capability. MAY — authority.
The technical ability to perform an operation and the authority to perform it are separate architectural objects.
Governed Inaction
If evidence is insufficient, state is stale, authority is missing, or a candidate does not satisfy the requirements, Hold can be a valid governed outcome.
Independent Outcome Verification
The actual outcome is confirmed through independent re-observation of the external environment.
Execution ≠ Verified Outcome
Architecture
Logical Architecture
Each layer has a distinct responsibility. Domain meaning stays above the core; common evidence, state, authority and verification discipline stays below it.

Core
STOIX Core
Shared primitives independent of any specific operational world.
Core works with canonical state, time, graph relationships, reasoning boundaries, and governance invariants.
Observation ≠ Fact
Capability ≠ Authority
Execution ≠ Verified Outcome
Reusable reasoning
Applied Programs
Common capabilities reused across operational worlds.
Investigation
Competing hypotheses, evidence gaps, and qualified conclusions.
Verification
Independent qualification of state and outcome.
Relationship Analysis
Entity, trust, dependency, and hidden-graph reasoning.
Decision Support
Alternatives, constraints, authority, and evidence closure.
Shared infrastructure
Platform Services
A cross-cutting infrastructure plane shared by products and Applied Programs.
Transport & Edge
Frontier, endpoint connectivity, STOIX Node.
Trust & Control
Identity, trust context, governance, and authority enforcement.
Contract & Integration
Canonical contracts, adapters, and compatibility mechanisms.
Observability & Evidence
Evidence acquisition, provenance, telemetry, history, and outcome records.
Shared communications
Canonical Telephony
Platform Trust → Endpoint Registry → Frontier → Canonical Telephony → Product Context
Telephony provides Call / MediaSession / signaling / media semantics. The Product Domain adds operational meaning. Guard, for example, binds communication to FieldSession and incident context.
Distributed presence
STOIX Node
Capability where the environment exists.
A single STOIX Node runtime can receive a bounded role through Environment Pack + Capability Profile + Decision Pack + Policy / Safety Profile + Entitlements + Deployment Profile.
Placement ≠ Authority
From Base to Products
stoiXDome — cloud / digital infrastructure realization.
stoiXGuard — field operations realization.
stoiXLaw — legal matter realization.
Domain semantics differ. Evidence, state, uncertainty, authority, and outcome discipline remain common.
