L7
DOCTRINE · Constitutional Basis
Rules that govern operation. Outlasts every implementation. Castle rebuilds anywhere if doctrine survives. Forbidden City: Mandate of Heaven through dynasties. No foreign garrisons.
FLEET: TREDNALS · γ₁ floor · Vendor exclusion · ARB ratification · 12 DCJ claims
L1
TERRITORY · Sovereign Domain
What you claim and govern. Federation boundaries. Treaty network. All systems, data, identity, doctrine under your authority.
FLEET: 44 domains · EOSE/DESEOF/PEMOS/SERLF · Azure DNS · IP assignments
L2
APPROACH · Adversary Path
How threats reach you. Know them before they know you. Scouts, spies, outer pickets. Honeytokens and tripwires. Information advantage.
FLEET: SSAF V12 bounty · CLIMAP helixes · DDSMAR wards · cascade early warning
L3
PERIMETER · Outer Boundary
Where outside meets inside. Boundary binary, trust graded. Theodosian Walls: 1,000 years until cannon shifted paradigm. Every fortification has a technology shelf life.
FLEET: nginx/Caddy mesh · AKS ingress · pemos.ca LB · Cloudflare edge
L4
GATES · Controlled Passage
Each gate enforces an invariant. No invariant violation passes. GID tokens = diplomatic sealed letters. Tokenized revelation: limited audience, specific purpose.
FLEET: GID tokens · Lean4 G+Rδ proof gates · TREDNALS routing · OAuth2
L5
INNER WORKS · Defense in Depth
Multiple internal boundaries. Compromise one ≠ compromise adjacent. Himeji: spiral maze, expose flank at every turn, success requires solving path.
FLEET: service mesh mTLS · Dynarube routing · namespace isolation · pemclau-private
L6
CORE · The Crown Jewels
What you exist to protect. No external dependencies. Operates indefinitely under siege. Loss of core = system death. The keep on the motte.
