Governance Map v0
Purpose
This map defines how the Weekly Board routes into human procedures, real state/view sources, and evidence.
The board is intentionally light. It shows enough to activate the right route without copying the underlying state.
Architecture
Weekly Board
→ route ID or ordinary-language action
→ route card / governing rule when needed
→ Digital Support Index
→ governed source or published view
→ evidence / next pointer
Canonical route list
The Routes Master Table is the canonical Weekly route registry.
Other route lists such as Route Atlas and Digital Support Index tables are navigational/derived surfaces and should not invent new route semantics.
Timing authority
Weekly timing heuristics live in Cadence, horizons, and week-shaping heuristics.
Natural cadence is a default, not a timer contract.
Layers
| Layer | Function |
|---|---|
| Weekly Board | Low-density paper/UI surface for emphasis, ticks, outputs, blockers, annotations. |
| Governance Map | Defines Weekly route vocabulary and routing rules. |
| Route Cards | Short procedure only for genuinely repeated routes. |
| Digital Support Index | Resolves a route to real sources/views, manuals, and evidence. |
| Governed sources/views | Control Tower v2, relationship tables, other real systems, or reproducible compiled views. |
| Evidence | Commits, messages, reports, publications, deployments, receipts, snapshots. |
| Full Context | Long rationale/design notes; not a normal operating surface. |
Route families
Current Weekly vocabulary includes:
- daily execution: BOOT, MAINT, FOCUS, CLOSE, NEXT;
- weekly continuity: WEEK-GOV, CARRY-M, CARRY-W;
- finance: FIN-W, FIN-U;
- homeostasis: BODY-GOV, GYM-GOV, HOUSE-GOV;
- capture: CAPTURE-GOV;
- externalization: EXTERNAL.
This list may shrink. A domain does not automatically deserve a formal *-GOV route.
Route survival rule
Keep a route only if:
- it recurs;
- its source/view is real;
- its output is observable;
- its stop rule matters;
- its name genuinely lowers cognitive cost.
Otherwise use ordinary language or a view/filter.
State rule
Do not define live source fields in this map.
Examples:
carry_state_v2owns carry posture;front_registry_v2owns front identity;- relationship tables own relationship governance;
- a Weekly View may temporarily group those rows for human use.
Board inclusion
A route belongs on the Weekly Board when it helps prevent forgotten work, reduces restart cost, updates governed state through the correct path, or produces meaningful external evidence.
Success criterion
A board mark should resolve quickly to:
- what the route means;
- which real source/view it needs;
- what completion looks like;
- where evidence lands;
- where to stop.
