Layered framework architecture with a staged execution spine and declared extension boundaries.
The architecture is presented in two complementary views. The framework view identifies infrastructure, data adapters, execution coordination, modality-specific workloads, autonomous experimentation, and the deployment surface. The execution view describes staged transitions, persisted artifacts, and declared interfaces for downstream analytical attachment.
Layered system organization
The framework separates infrastructure controls, data adapters, execution coordination, workload surfaces, experiment-selection components, and research-facing deployment interfaces.
Layered responsibilities
This view distinguishes infrastructure, coordination, workloads, and outward-facing surfaces. Execution coordination remains separate from modality-specific analysis and from deployment-facing interfaces.
Execution spine, mediated extensions, autonomous loop
The execution view traces staged transitions, persisted artifacts, the contract-validated extension runner, the experiment-selection loop, and the deployment-facing evaluation package.
Staged execution
Runs proceed through ingestion, training, evaluation, and reporting in a fixed sequence, with persisted state at the handoff between each stage.
Mediated attachment
Comparative analysis, modality-specific methods, and summary layers attach through a contract-validated runner rather than becoming hidden logic inside the core DAG.
Guided autonomy
The autonomous loop influences next-run selection and experiment prioritization, but it operates through declared interfaces and does not erase stage sequence or artifact boundaries.
Explicit outputs
The deployment surface consumes an evaluation package with defined scope, rather than exposing the full experimental system as an unconstrained product surface.
Why this structure matters
The separation of layers and interfaces is intended to preserve a clear execution record while allowing analytical extension, experiment selection, and pilot delivery to evolve at declared boundaries.
Execution record is visible
Artifact handoffs, manifests, and stage boundaries create an inspectable record of what was run, what was produced, and where downstream interpretation begins.
Analysis stays modular
New diagnostics, modality-specific methods, and comparative logic can be attached at declared interfaces without destabilizing the execution core.
Optimization stays scoped
Experiment selection can be sophisticated while still operating on persisted records, declared interfaces, and explicit stopping logic.
Deployment scope is defined
Research-facing delivery is defined as a scoped surface with a specified workflow, a defined evidence package, and an auditable path into operational use.
The architecture keeps orchestration, analytical extension, and deployment scope explicit. That separation supports a clear execution record and auditability in the execution core while preserving flexibility at controlled interfaces.
