Idea-Native Architecture (INA)

Definition

An architectural framework treating meaning as a first-class governable object. INA separates containers (documents, models, systems) from objects (the meanings they contain), enabling ideas to be addressed, governed, and composed independently of their housing.

Example

Instead of 'the mission statement in our bylaws,' INA allows 'mission object M₁ that can be queried, modified under governance constraints, and referenced by multiple systems simultaneously.'
