Shared Interfaces
Defines the common interfaces used by Suite tools to exchange records, references, identifiers, and verification data.

Interoperability Standard
The Interoperability Standard defines how Satoshium tools, records, schemas, and external systems communicate in a consistent and reliable manner.
Interoperability allows certifications, attestations, registry records, discovery signals, and structured data to move across the Suite without losing meaning.
Record Compatibility
Establishes how records remain understandable across Certifier, Registry, Anchor, Attestor, Beacon, Navigator, Chronicle, and Atlas.
Architecture ActiveExternal Alignment
Defines how Satoshium records may reference, consume, or interoperate with external sources, repositories, standards, and public systems.
Architecture ActiveMeaning Preservation
Ensures that data exchanged between systems preserves its original context, authority, evidence, status, and interpretive meaning.
Architecture ActiveStandard Role
The Interoperability Standard provides the connective layer that allows the Satoshium Suite to function as an integrated ecosystem rather than a collection of isolated tools.
Interoperability is not merely data exchange. It is the preservation of meaning
across tools, records, and systems.
Cryptographic Digest Interoperability
When Suite institutions exchange or preserve cryptographic digest evidence, the algorithm identity and encoded digest value must remain explicit and reproducible.
Initial Suite-approved Digest Algorithm → SHA-256
Algorithm Identifier → SHA-256
Digest Encoding → lowercase hexadecimal
Expected SHA-256 Length → 64 hexadecimal characters
Algorithm Identifier → SHA-256
Digest Encoding → lowercase hexadecimal
Expected SHA-256 Length → 64 hexadecimal characters
SHA-256 is the initial approved interoperable digest algorithm, not a permanent definition of Satoshium integrity. Future governed algorithms may be introduced without changing the institutional meaning of an integrity reference.
Initial Digest Profile DefinedCanonical Representation Interoperability
Where Suite systems exchange a representation identified as canonical_json, they must interpret it according to the Suite Schemas Standard.

Interoperability therefore depends on shared interpretation of both representation rules and integrity metadata rather than on exchanging opaque digest strings alone.
