Mapping to External Frameworks

A.1 Legend

  • Equivalent. The external framework addresses this ingredient's concern at comparable depth.
  • Partial. The external framework names the concern but does not specify the structural mechanism.
  • Extends. This framework provides structural specification that the external framework does not address.

A.2 Mapping by Ingredient

A.3 Summary

The external frameworks provide strongest coverage of Purpose (through charter and control environment requirements), Constraints (through control activities), Time (through monitoring cadences), and Memory (through documentation requirements). They provide weakest coverage of Distinctions (namespace governance), Observation (structured perspective modeling), Relations (governance graph structure), and Uncertainty (epistemic status classification). This framework extends all ten ingredients beyond what the external frameworks specify, with the largest extensions in Entities (the three-layer behavioral-contract architecture), Constraints (constraint-first validation with composition rules), Relations (the three relation types and forcing-function matrix), and Uncertainty (the truth-type system).
