Governance Map — Column Definitions
The Governance Map is a routing layer, not a state table.
Columns
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
ID | Stable short route identifier when a stable name is actually useful. |
Domain | Human category; not necessarily a formal ontology. |
Route type | Execution, governance, state review, homeostasis, externalization, or situational. |
Natural cadence | Heuristic/default moment when the route is usually useful. Not a timer or state contract. |
Weekly board presence | How the route appears on paper/UI: checkbox, label, reference, conditional route. |
Contract | Optional governing rule when quality/boundary needs more than ordinary language. |
Inputs | Minimum real sources or published views needed to run the route. |
State touched | The governed source that may be reviewed/changed through its proper authority path. |
Output / evidence | Observable result, decision, evidence, or next pointer. |
Tick valid when | Minimal human completion criterion. |
Stop rule | Boundary preventing scope expansion. |
Linked card | Optional compact procedure for a repeated route. |
Support index entry | Navigation page resolving the route to live sources/views and evidence. |
Route survival rule
Keep a named route only when:
- it recurs;
- its source is real;
- its result is observable;
- it is not already handled cleanly by an Office/view projection;
- 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.
