AEON v1 Appendices
Appendices provide detailed reference material and conceptual guides for AEON Core and AEOS. The documents below are grouped by concern and publication order.
Guidance by use case:
- New to AEON? Start with the Glossary and Processing Model to understand core concepts.
- Building a parser or processor? See the Structure, Addressing and References, Tuples, and Node Model documents.
- Creating schemas or validators? See the AEOS Charter, Schema Profile, and Authority Boundary documents.
- Understanding architecture and philosophy? See the Reference Philosophy, Profiles Framework, and Binding Identity guides.
