Relationship to the VTI Standard

VTI Frame defines architectural structure. The VTI Standard defines normative criteria for conformity within that structure.

Distinct Roles

Frame: architectural invariants and separation
Standard: conformance rules and evaluation criteria

Multiple standards may coexist within the VTI Frame. The Frame itself does not mandate implementations, certify systems, or govern operational deployments.

Architectural definition and normative standards are intentionally separated to preserve neutrality, extensibility, and independent governance.
