The Federation Invariant Families define the constitutional guarantees underpinning TrustGate Federation.
By organizing invariants into identity, sovereignty, federation, synchronization, delegation, trust, security, replay, persistence, intelligence, and integrity families, TrustGate establishes a durable constitutional contract that ensures every federation implementation behaves consistently, regardless of implementation technology, deployment architecture, organizational boundary, or transport protocol. These invariant families provide the foundation for certification, interoperability, replayability, governance, and long-term evolution across the ZAYAZ ecosystem.
Appendix G — Protocol Reference

This appendix defines the Constitutional Protocol Reference governing protocol interactions within TrustGate Federation.
The Constitutional Protocol Layer (CPL) specifies protocol semantics independently of transport technologies, enabling interoperable, replayable, policy-governed, and implementation-independent federation across the ZAYAZ ecosystem.

Transport technologies remain interchangeable, allowing the platform to evolve without changing the constitutional behaviour of federation.

H.13. Summary
The Exchange Profile Catalog establishes the constitutional vocabulary for exchanged information within TrustGate Federation.
By separating exchange semantics from federation mechanics, Exchange Profiles enable reusable, transport-independent, replayable, and policy-governed information exchange. They compose existing constitutional artifacts rather than redefining them, ensuring modularity, interoperability, and long-term architectural consistency across the ZAYAZ ecosystem.
