Interface Routing Framework (IRF): A Protocol for Cross-Domain Event-Flow Encoding

Positioning Statement 

Framework (IRF) is a protocol-level method for encoding and comparing cross-domain legal event-flows without semantic unification.

Legal domains are treated as interface processors acting on a shared event-flow.

Instead of asking what an event “is” in each domain, IRF records how the same event-flow is transformed across interfaces.

Core Idea 

A single anchor role—an owner–manager acting as both shareholder and managerial decision-maker—is used as a tracing unit.

This unit carries one continuous event-flow across tax, contract, tort, trust, and public-law interfaces, making routing observable without semantic alignment.

Anchor Mechanism (Owner–Manager)

A single anchor role—an owner–manager acting as both shareholder and managerial decision-maker—is used as a tracing unit.

This unit carries one continuous event-flow across tax, contract, tort, trust, and public-law interfaces, making routing observable without semantic alignment.

Structural Condition (CDM + F^GC)

IRF adopts a minimal structural constraint derived from the Cabinet–Drawer Model (CDM):

F^GC = X × Y

• X: cross-interface continuity
  
  

• Y: admissibility across stages
  
  

Routing remains operative only when both dimensions are non-zero.

What the Framework Produces

• Routing Grammar: Flow → Interface₁ → Interface₂ → … → Output
  
  

• Interface Table: structured recording of transformations
  
  

• Mismatch / Distortion Flags
  
  

• State Readout (operative / blocked / unstable)
