Introduction SIGMA Enterprise Platform Architecture & Runtime Engineering Specification Version: 1.0 System SIGMA – Sovereign Human–AI Algorithmic Interaction System Arabic Name النظام السيادي للتفاعل الخوارزمي بين الإنسان والذكاء الاصطناعي Inventor فهد بن منصور بن راشد العرجاني International Patent Application (PCT) PCT/SA2026/050007 International Publication (WIPO) WO2026/071935
Introduction This document serves as the official engineering reference for the SIGMA Enterprise Platform. It defines the architectural foundations, runtime model, operational engines, enterprise services, communication interfaces, data architecture, and engineering principles required for designing, implementing, operating, and evolving the platform. The specification establishes a unified engineering vision in which every operational activity is executed through coordinated runtime services, governed workflows, structured decision processing, auditable operations, and integrated enterprise management. The architecture is organized as a layered enterprise platform composed of a centralized Platform Kernel, Runtime Core, specialized operational engines, enterprise service interfaces, and a unified operational data platform. Together, these components provide a structured execution environment supporting decision lifecycle management, governance validation, risk evaluation, human participation, operational traceability, analytics, reporting, and enterprise administration. This specification is intended to serve as the primary engineering reference for software architects, developers, system integrators, technical reviewers, implementation teams, and future platform evolution. All implementation activities shall be aligned with the engineering principles, architectural constraints, and operational directives defined throughout this document.
Document Objectives This specification aims to: • Define the official architecture of the SIGMA Enterprise Platform. • Establish the Runtime execution model. • Describe every operational engine and its responsibilities. • Define enterprise communication through standardized APIs. • Specify the enterprise data architecture. • Define governance, risk, audit, analytics, and reporting mechanisms. • Provide a unified engineering reference for implementation. • Support scalable, maintainable, and extensible platform development.
Engineering Scope This document covers: • Platform Architecture • Platform Kernel • Runtime Core • Decision Engine • Governance Engine • Risk Engine • Human Participation Engine • Audit Engine • Analytics Engine • Reporting Engine • Enterprise Database • Enterprise API Layer • Enterprise Command Center • Operational Workflows • Engineering Standards • Deployment Principles
Engineering Declaration SIGMA Enterprise Platform Architecture & Runtime Engineering Specification constitutes the official engineering baseline for the SIGMA Platform. It defines the platform architecture, runtime engineering model, operational services, communication standards, and implementation principles that govern the design and development of the platform. All future software development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and platform evolution shall conform to the specifications defined within this document.
SIGMA Runtime Core Architecture Core Runtime Engine Specification System: SIGMA – Sovereign Human–AI Algorithmic Interaction System Arabic Name: النظام السيادي للتفاعل الخوارزمي بين الإنسان والذكاء الاصطناعي Inventor: فهد بن منصور بن راشد العرجاني International Patent Application (PCT): PCT/SA2026/050007 International Publication (WIPO): WO2026/071935 Document ID: SIGMA-RUNTIME-001 Version: 1.0
Purpose The SIGMA Runtime Core is the central execution engine responsible for coordinating all platform operations. No component shall execute independently outside the Runtime Core. Every operation, workflow, event, approval, governance validation, and audit entry shall pass through the Runtime Core.
Runtime Responsibilities The Runtime Core shall: • Initialize the platform. • Load configuration. • Authenticate users. • Start system services. • Route operational requests. • Execute workflows. • Coordinate communication between engines. • Record operational events. • Maintain system health. • Monitor platform status. • Handle failures. • Manage shutdown procedures.

Runtime State Management Supported states: • Initializing • Ready • Processing • Waiting • Completed • Failed • Archived
Error Management The Runtime Core shall: • Capture all exceptions. • Record every error. • Return standardized responses. • Prevent data corruption. • Maintain transaction consistency.
Monitoring The Runtime continuously monitors: • Database connectivity • API health • Runtime performance • Memory usage • CPU usage • Active users • Running workflows
Runtime Rules The Runtime Core shall enforce: • No workflow bypass. • No unauthorized execution. • No decision without validation. • No approval before governance. • No governance without audit. • No operation without logging. • No database update outside managed transactions.
Runtime Outputs The Runtime generates: • Decision results • Governance results • Risk results • Audit records • Reports • Dashboard metrics • Notifications
