Publication XIV — The Chart Runtime

No. 014

v1.0.0Published2026-07-12 View publication

Initial release of The Chart Runtime™ — a universal execution environment for persistent analytical visualizations.
Reframed the category: applications no longer create charts; applications execute Living Chart Objects through a standardized runtime.
Defined the eight coordinated runtime services: Chart Object™, Identity Resolver™, Connector Manager™, Synchronization Engine™, Policy Engine™, Rendering Engine™, AI Services™, Publishing Engine™.
Documented Production capabilities: Structured Chart Objects™, Multi-Format Rendering™.
Documented Active Development capabilities: Runtime Identity Resolution™, Runtime Connector Manager™, Runtime Policy Engine™, Runtime Event System™.
Documented Research Direction capabilities: Distributed Runtime™, Edge Runtime™, Runtime Plugins™, AI Runtime Services™, Runtime Federation™.
Established twelve engineering principles: execute rather than export, reference by identity, deterministic execution, synchronization before rendering, consistent policy enforcement, modular connectors, replaceable rendering, optional AI services, native observability, auditable execution history, extensible runtime services, authoritative identity.
Unifies every preceding architectural component into a single execution model — charts distributed as identities, not files.
