Approved inputs
Interfaces are selected for the mission and operating environment; public material identifies categories without exposing restricted integration detail.
Human-commanded multi-domain architecture
Mission processing closer to approved sensors.
Shadow Node frames edge processing, local interface management and controlled information flow without claiming a fixed hardware or deployment configuration.
Public architecture
What this page establishes
Public material describes roles, interfaces and governance boundaries without unsupported operational claims.
Local processing
Edge processing can reduce unnecessary data movement and preserve mission context where the approved architecture requires it.
Governed connection
Shadow Node remains part of a wider command, access-control and evidence model rather than an independent authority for consequential action.
Bounded degraded-mode operation
Resilience does not remove authority boundaries. Local workflows may continue only within pre-defined permissions, with logged state, health monitoring and human escalation. No consequential permission is self-granted.
Failure boundary
When approved communications or dependencies are unavailable, the public architecture requires a bounded state rather than expanded authority. Exact degraded-mode behaviour must be verified for each configuration before publication.
