Field Circuitry Numbered Syntax (FCNS)

Field Circuitry Numbered Syntax (FCNS v1.0)
Numbering and lineage specification for Juxels, Lexels, and Seqels.

Field Circuitry Numbered Syntax (FCNS) defines a consistent and durable identification system for artifacts within the Field Circuitry framework. It provides a standardized method to reference, track, version, and reconstruct artifact lineage over time.

FCNS specifies:
    •    fixed prefixes for artifact classes (JX, LX, SX)
    •    year-of-origin encoding (two-digit year, non-mutable)
    •    series identifiers for thematic grouping
    •    zero-padded index values to prevent collision
    •    explicit revision increment rules
    •    optional execution-mode suffix definitions

Intended outcomes:
    •    predictable parsing for engineers
    •    reliable reference and citation for researchers
    •    archival stability for librarians and curators
    •    clear navigation for readers and analysts
    •    recoverable history for future maintainers

Scope:

FCNS defines structure only. It does not assign value, hierarchy, authority, or interpretive meaning. It functions as a metadata and governance utility to reduce ambiguity, preserve continuity, and maintain structural integrity across versions.

This document specifies v1.0 of the Field Circuitry Numbered Syntax standard.
