Specifications

Aeonite publishes specifications for a family of related systems, together with the shared contracts, conventions, conformance material, and source artifacts that support them. Each system keeps its own version track so drafts, proposals, and published releases can move independently.

Systems

Start here when you need the formal specification surface for a specific member of the Aeonite family.

AEON

Human-readable typed notation, canonical structure, references, annotations, and conformance expectations.

AES

Portable Assignment Event Stream model, Telex text encoding, compatibility contracts, planned encodings, and shared value semantics for AEON-family components.

AEOS

Schema and validation system for checking AEON structures without mutating or typecasting the input stream.

SANSA

Semantic Address NameSpace Abstraction for addressing and resolving semantic bindings across AEON, AEOS, runtime graphs, services, and other namespaces.

NEON

Hybrid text/binary codec and container work for compact transport while preserving the same family-level separation between representation and interpretation.

&ND

AEON Native Document language for deterministic document-shaped text, with draft v1 behavior and proposal-stage v2 evolution.

Specification infrastructure

These shared layers define how systems identify external expectations, apply common meanings, and demonstrate conformance.

Contracts

Contract-layer documentation for published profile and schema identifiers, contract artifacts, and the trusted registry model.

Conventions

Shared interpretation-layer documents covering convention structure, security envelopes, document metadata, context labels, and related informative references.

Source and downloads

Published documents are available as HTML, Markdown, &ND, and their AEON source. Use a document page to download an individual projection, or use the repositories below for the maintained source collections.

Specification source

Canonical source for formal AEON-family specifications, drafts, proposals, contracts, and conventions.

Conformance source

Conformance suites, runner contracts, coverage mapping, and verification-facing CTS material.
