Public Documentation
Last Updated: February 12, 2026

🎯 What are Sacred Orders?

Sacred Orders are the core governance modules of Vitruvyan Core, each responsible for a specific domain of the epistemic operating system.

📚 The Six Sacred Orders

1. Memory Orders — Coherence & RAG

Manage semantic memory, coherence analysis, and retrieval-augmented generation.

2. Vault Keepers — Archival & Persistence

Handle long-term storage, snapshots, and data archival strategies.

3. Orthodoxy Wardens — Truth & Validation

Enforce governance rules, validate outputs, and maintain system invariants.

4. Babel Gardens — Language Processing

Process multilingual text, detect language, and normalize linguistic inputs.

5. Codex Hunters — Code Discovery

Discover, map, and analyze codebases for structural understanding.

6. Pattern Weavers — Pattern Analysis

Extract recurring patterns, classify entities, and build taxonomies.

🏗️ Architecture Pattern

All Sacred Orders follow the mandatory 10-directory structure:

<order_name>/
├── domain/              # Immutable dataclasses
├── consumers/           # Pure processing functions
├── governance/          # Rules and classifiers
├── events/              # Event definitions
├── monitoring/          # Metrics constants
├── philosophy/          # Charter and mandate
├── docs/                # Implementation docs
├── examples/            # Usage examples
├── tests/               # Unit tests
└── _legacy/             # Archived code
