Visual Reasoning Layer
This directory contains visual Hive Maps of Aura Hive reasoning models.
Visual artifacts are intended to improve human understanding of how the hive is interpreted by advisory systems. They are non-executable and non-authoritative.
Purpose
The visual layer exists to:
explain architectural and reasoning intent
provide onboarding and review artifacts
support discussion and design alignment
Visual documents do not define runtime behavior.
Canonical Source of Truth
All visual artifacts are derived from or aligned with the canonical architecture defined in docs/FOUNDATION.md, packages/aura-core/src/aura_core/dna.py, and operational state in HIVE_STATE.md.
Hierarchy of truth:
Implemented architecture (FOUNDATION.md, dna.py Protocols, operational code)
Visual Hive Maps (Mermaid, Markdown)
Rendered documentation
Structure
Formats
Supported formats include:
Mermaid (
.mmd) for diagramsMarkdown (
.md) for explanatory context
Additional formats MAY be introduced if they remain static and readable.
Constraints
Visual artifacts MUST NOT be used for automation
Visual artifacts MUST NOT introduce new semantics
Visual artifacts SHOULD declare their diagram abstraction level (distinct from the Four Ontological Levels in FOUNDATION.md):
Organism View: Full Bee service boundaries and inter-service communication
Cellular View: ATCG-M nucleotide interactions within a single Bee
Molecular View: Protocol/interface contracts (gRPC, SkillProtocol)
Ecosystem View: Multi-bee choreography and event flows
Audience
This layer is intended for:
operators
architects
contributors
reviewers
It is not intended for machines or deployment tooling.
Status
This layer is informative and experimental.
