Architecture
and Intent

By Tony Malott

The system diagram is only half the architecture. Most AI diagrams explain the stack. These three views explain the missing plane: what the system means, trusts, may decide, may change, and must refuse.

Technology architectureCapability, components, data, retrieval, tools, identity, security, deployment, observability, and recovery.
Architecture of intentObjectives, semantics, truth hierarchy, authority, ambiguity, decision rights, mutation rights, evidence, blast radius, escalation, and stop conditions.

Capability is not authority.

The technical stack determines what the system can do. The architecture of intent determines what it should do, what it may do, and when it must stop.
