Public normative layer for Sigma Runtime
The Sigma Runtime Standard (SRS) is the public normative layer of Sigma Runtime.
It defines the binding semantics, invariants, interfaces, and governance path for the open standard.
The standard is open and evolves through the SRIP process.
Public explanatory material belongs to SRD; product implementation details may remain proprietary.
SRS exists to define:
It does not replace implementation work.
It defines what the public standard binds.
Public readers should therefore treat SRS as the normative reference, not as a promise that every implementation detail is published here.
The public standard governs:
It does not attempt to define every product-specific implementation strategy.
The Sigma Runtime Standard evolves through Sigma Runtime Improvement Proposals (SRIPs).
Publicly, the standard is best read through:
/srs//srs/active-srips.md/srs/registry.mdThis keeps the public standard traceable without pretending the entire architecture is frozen into one old version label.
Sigma Runtime is an open, non-exclusive technical standard:
Relevant governance documents:

It provides the foundation for coherent, persistent, and interpretable cognitive systems built on modern language models.
The Sigma Runtime Standard (SRS) is the public normative surface for Sigma Runtime.
It defines what is binding, how that binding changes through SRIPs, and how the open standard stays separate from proprietary implementation detail.
