Interfaces, Roles & Interoperability

Primes that govern how separable parts couple across a boundary: interfaces, abstract data types and roles decoupled from occupants, compatibility and substitutability, impedance mismatch and asymmetric tolerance, plus the institutions, trust, and translation that let independently built components compose.

21 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
