Governance Cards Specification

A unified card framework for structural governance analysis

Governance cards are the primary UI units for presenting Analyzer, Observer, and Simulator outputs. They provide a compact, interpretable, and substrate‑aligned representation of structural vectors, coherence scores, drift signals, basin identity, and transition pathways. Cards are designed for dashboards, educational tools, and comparative governance explorers.

Card Purpose#

Governance cards serve four core functions:

  • present structural information in a consistent, non‑ideological format
  • support comparison across systems, eras, or scenarios
  • surface drift, tension, and transition signals
  • provide narrative context for learners and analysts

Cards are data‑driven and follow strict schemas to ensure interoperability across GSM modules.

Card Types#

Structural Card#

Represents a system’s current structural configuration.

  • structural vector
  • nearest basin
  • basin distance
  • stability score
  • invariant alignment summary
  • awareness layer strength
  • narrative snippet

Drift Card#

Represents movement between two structural states.

  • drift vector
  • drift magnitude
  • drift category
  • active physics forces
  • invariant tension
  • basin movement
  • drift narrative

Transition Card#

Represents a pathway through the transition graph.

  • start basin
  • end basin
  • intermediate steps
  • total transition cost
  • stability implications

Observer Lens Card#

Represents history, now, and future perspectives.

  • historical vectors
  • drift sequences
  • current coherence
  • projected drift
  • future transition signals

Rendering Guidelines#

  • Cards must be readable at a glance.
  • Drift magnitude should be color‑coded by category.
  • Basin identity should use consistent iconography.
  • Narratives must be concise and structurally grounded.
  • Missing fields must degrade gracefully.
  • All numeric values must use consistent precision.

Integration Points#

Governance cards are used by:

  • Governance Alignment Dashboard
  • Transition Simulator
  • Triadic Observer timelines
  • DSL substrate adapter outputs
  • Comparative governance explorers
  • Educational modules

They provide a unified visual language across the GSM ecosystem.
