Decision Continuity Engineering Research Foundation: Comprehensive Architecture for Field Development

Volume IV — Field Architecture. Defines the research grammar, substrate rules, and continuity constraints that govern all DCE-native fields. This paper establishes the foundational research architecture for Decision Continuity Engineering (DCE), building upon the conceptual foundations of DCE Paper 1 and the mathematical formalization of DCE Paper 2. It defines the comprehensive field architecture, methodological standards, validation pathways, and community development model required for systematic advancement of DCE as a scientific discipline.
