⚠️ Draft — Non-authoritative content (noindex)

INFORMATIVEDRAFTDocumentation Governance

Truth Source: Repository schemas and tests are authoritative.

Non-Normative Document

This document is informative only.

Architecture

Welcome to the MPLP Architecture documentation. This section covers the foundational design of the protocol.

Scope

This index provides navigation to MPLP's four-layer architecture and related structural reference pages.

Architecture pages explain how protocol families relate across layers. They are not the first place to establish formal object, profile, or event meaning.

Non-Goals

This page does not contain normative requirements. All normative content is defined in the linked specification documents.

Canonical Reading Position

For canonical-first reading:

1. Read Modules, Profiles, and Observability first.
2. Use Architecture second, to understand how those formal families relate across L1-L4.
3. Do not read runtime-layer concepts as new protocol core objects.

Layer Documents

Layer	Document	Responsibility
L1	L1 Core Protocol	Schema and invariant foundations
L2	L2 Coordination & Governance	Coordination and profile layer framing
L3	L3 Execution & Orchestration	Runtime realization layer framing
L4	L4 Integration Infrastructure	Integration-layer framing
