complete-architecture-is-backend-portable
IN derived (depth 6)
The deterministic lifecycle-complete architecture — with its predictable state trajectories, gapless lifecycle monitoring, and uniform safety enforcement — operates identically across all storage backends, achieving full portability between SQLite and PostgreSQL.
Summary
The system's core guarantees — deterministic state changes, complete lifecycle tracking, and safety enforcement — work the same regardless of whether SQLite or PostgreSQL is used underneath. This means you can swap storage backends without worrying about subtle behavioral differences in how beliefs are computed, tracked, or protected.
Justifications
SL — Deterministic architecture + cross-backend safety → full backend portability; gated on PgApi achieving complete API coverage
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- complete-architecture-is-deterministic-and-lifecycle-complete — The complete reasoning-and-revision architecture is both deterministic in its state trajectories and lifecycle-complete in its monitoring coverage — no belief can escape either guarantee, creating a system where every belief is both predictably computed and fully tracked.
- safety-is-enforced-across-all-layers-and-backends — Safety is enforced uniformly across both the architectural dimension (clean layer boundaries with atomic isolated mutations) and the storage dimension (equivalent guarantees through backend-appropriate mechanisms in SQLite and PostgreSQL) — no safety property depends on a specific backend or architectural layer.
Unless (any of these IN defeats this justification):
- pgapi-partial-api-coverage — PgApi implements core operations (add/retract/assert/search/nogood/explain) but defers simulation, dialectics, namespace support, import/export, and maintenance operations to future work
