Five connected bands, 26 controlled layers
Layer descriptions are intentionally concise. Detailed design parameters and acceptance criteria are controlled programme information.
This public architecture is a navigation and governance view. The controlled master architecture remains authoritative for layer definitions, interfaces, ownership and change history. Any difference must be resolved through configuration control before public publication.

Universities, testing laboratories, concrete producers, electronics specialists and asset owners can engage at a defined interface without taking responsibility for the entire system.
