Governance Map — Column Definitions

The Governance Map is a routing layer, not a state table.

Columns​

ColumnMeaning
IDStable short route identifier when a stable name is actually useful.
DomainHuman category; not necessarily a formal ontology.
Route typeExecution, governance, state review, homeostasis, externalization, or situational.
Natural cadenceHeuristic/default moment when the route is usually useful. Not a timer or state contract.
Weekly board presenceHow the route appears on paper/UI: checkbox, label, reference, conditional route.
ContractOptional governing rule when quality/boundary needs more than ordinary language.
InputsMinimum real sources or published views needed to run the route.
State touchedThe governed source that may be reviewed/changed through its proper authority path.
Output / evidenceObservable result, decision, evidence, or next pointer.
Tick valid whenMinimal human completion criterion.
Stop ruleBoundary preventing scope expansion.
Linked cardOptional compact procedure for a repeated route.
Support index entryNavigation page resolving the route to live sources/views and evidence.

Route survival rule​

Keep a named route only when:

  1. it recurs;
  2. its source is real;
  3. its result is observable;
  4. it is not already handled cleanly by an Office/view projection;
  5. the name saves more cognition than it costs.

If not, ordinary language is enough.

Timing​

All cadence values are Weekly Governance heuristics. See Cadence, horizons, and week-shaping heuristics.
