Platform Architecture

Capabilities all the way down

Every operation in SymphAIny is a capability — a governed, composable unit of work. Capabilities compose into DAGs. DAGs compose into domains. The architecture is recursive, governed, and self-improving.

Three Layers, One Governed Pipeline

Kernel Layer

ICGAO composition, ConstitutionalRuntime, PolicyStore, WAL. Every execution assembles Intelligence + Capability + Governance + Actor + Outcome.

Publication Layer

Curator publishes capabilities with tier-gated visibility. CapabilityRegistry tracks all registered capabilities. Published catalog serves the Experience API.

Experience Layer

Auth capabilities resolve tier. Section manifests drive navigation. Capability execution routes through the API. Any surface: web, API, MCP, edge.

What the Architecture Delivers

Constitutional Architecture

Every operation — whether performed by AI or a human expert — follows the same governed path. The 6-stage lifecycle ensures governance is structural, not procedural.

DAG Composition

Capabilities compose into directed acyclic graphs. A composed capability executes identically to a leaf capability — the caller never knows the difference.

Human-AI Deliberation

Neither pure automation nor pure human review scales. The deliberation cycle produces better outcomes than either party alone. Trust is earned, not assumed.

Bring Your Own Infrastructure

Protocol → Abstraction → Adapter architecture. Every infrastructure component is independently swappable. Your auth, your storage, your models. Your rules.

Tiered Access

Five-tier role hierarchy: Guest, Member, Builder, Admin, Owner. The backend is the sole authority on tier. Capabilities are published with minimum tier requirements.

Self-Improving Platform

The intelligence continuum closes the loop: Data → Knowledge → Intelligence → Decisions → Outcomes → Data. The flywheel compounds with every operation.

The Proof Point

This website was defined as a capability

symphainy.cie.website_v1 is a composed capability with four nodes: knowledge acquisition, content composition, site generation, and deployment. The platform defined how to build its own public website through the same governed DAG execution that powers everything else.

// Result: www.symphainy.io deployed to Vercel
