Solution
The fractal unit of completed work
Definition
Mechanism
A recursive Work unit that contains an output Artifact, provenance identifying its creator and creation time, and a reference to its originating Task. Composite solutions also record a component Tree of the sub-solutions used to generate them; omission of that tree denotes a leaf. It is the verifiable output container validated against the task's acceptance criteria.
Preconditions
Postconditions
- Solution sealed and ready for transport
Invariants
- Immutability: Once finalized, Artifact and Provenance cannot be modified.
- Provenance attributes the Solution to its Creator and the time of creation.
- Where the Creator is untrusted, attribution is cryptographically signed.
