# System Requirements Specification
|
||
|
||
## Objective
|
||
|
||
To define the core requirements for a system that fulfills the goals of decentralized backend ownership — enabling individuals and organizations to control, operate, and interact through their own backend environments without relying on centralized infrastructure.
|
||
|
||
## Functional Requirements
|
||
|
||
### 1. **Isolated Execution Contexts**
|
||
- Each user or peer must operate within a distinct, logically isolated execution context.
|
||
- Contexts must not be able to interfere with each other's state or runtime.
|
||
|
||
### 2. **Cross-Context Communication**
|
||
- Peers must be able to initiate interactions with other peers.
|
||
- Communication must include origin metadata (who initiated it), and be authorized by the target context.
|
||
|
||
### 3. **Delegated Execution**
|
||
- A peer must be able to send code or instructions to another peer for execution, under the recipient's policies.
|
||
- The recipient must treat the execution as contextualized by the caller, but constrained by its own local rules.
|
||
|
||
### 4. **Ownership of Logic and Data**
|
||
- Users must be able to inspect, modify, and extend the logic that governs their backend.
|
||
- Data storage and access policies must be under the control of the peer.
|
||
|
||
### 5. **Composability and Modifiability**
|
||
- System behavior must be defined by open, composable modules or scripts.
|
||
- Users must be able to override default behavior or extend it with minimal coupling.
|
||
|
||
## Non-Functional Requirements
|
||
|
||
### 6. **Security and Isolation**
|
||
- Scripts or instructions from external peers must be sandboxed and policy-checked.
|
||
- Each execution context must enforce boundaries between data and logic.
|
||
|
||
### 7. **Resilience and Redundancy**
|
||
- Failure of one peer or node must not impact others.
|
||
- Communication must be asynchronous and fault-tolerant.
|
||
|
||
### 8. **Portability**
|
||
- A peer’s logic and data must be portable across environments and host infrastructure.
|
||
- No assumption of persistent centralized hosting.
|
||
|
||
### 9. **Transparency**
|
||
- All logic must be auditable by its owner.
|
||
- Communications between peers must be observable and traceable.
|
||
|
||
### 10. **Scalability**
|
||
- The system must support large numbers of peer contexts, potentially hosted on shared infrastructure without compromising logical separation.
|
||
|
||
These requirements define the baseline for any system that claims to decentralize backend control and empower users to operate their own programmable, connected environments.
