+      Open Architecture: Methodology for interpreting directed graphs as
+                          any system architecture
+
+Abstract
+
+   This document describes the Open Architecture; a proxy format for domain
+   specific representations of architecture.
+
+   The Open Architecture builds on the Open Digital Asset Protocol. We define a
+   methodology for interpreting a directed graph of digital assets as a system
+   architecture.
+
+   We suggest methods for interpreting those graphs as software and hardware
+   architectures as well as the Open Architecture's role in living threat
+   models.
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+   This Internet-Draft will be submitted in full conformance with the
+   provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
+
+   This draft will expire on June 1st, 2023.

+1.  Introduction
+
+   The Open Architecture enables hybrid on/off chain smart contacts.
+   It does this by incorporating risk management into architecture definition /
+   smart contract. Smart contracts with understanding of risk are effectively
+   entities making decisions based on models. This allows for mutation in
+   implementation while maintaining principles.
+
+   The smart contract is able to make its own decisions based on learned
+   experience so as to continue to operate until its strategic goals are meet.
+   As measured by oracle data ordained from trusted parties as is
+   applicable to context. Where chains of trust are established via Peer DIDs
+   between entities and data for provenance. Leveraging verifiable credentials
+   for review system to measure risk in absence of attestation.
