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​

LayerFunction
Weekly BoardLow-density paper/UI surface for emphasis, ticks, outputs, blockers, annotations.
Governance MapDefines Weekly route vocabulary and routing rules.
Route CardsShort procedure only for genuinely repeated routes.
Digital Support IndexResolves a route to real sources/views, manuals, and evidence.
Governed sources/viewsControl Tower v2, relationship tables, other real systems, or reproducible compiled views.
EvidenceCommits, messages, reports, publications, deployments, receipts, snapshots.
Full ContextLong 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_v2 owns carry posture;
  • front_registry_v2 owns 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:

  1. what the route means;
  2. which real source/view it needs;
  3. what completion looks like;
  4. where evidence lands;
  5. where to stop.
