System Architecture

A deterministic, telemetry-first pipeline that transforms scenario intent into consistent, auditable output families.

Single Source of Truth

NetMetria is built around a single principle: telemetry is the semantic truth of the system.

All outputs — packets, logs, flows, preview, provenance, and ground truth — are derived from telemetry. No output is independently constructed.

Deterministic Pipeline

Scenario Intent
Execution Preparation
Simulation Core
Observation
Telemetry Records
Realization

Each stage is strictly separated and contract-governed. No stage is allowed to reinterpret or modify semantic meaning.

Execution Stages

Scenario Intent

Declarative definition of behaviors and relationships. No infrastructure or protocol-level constructs.

Execution Preparation

Resolves references and prepares deterministic execution state. No randomness or external dependency allowed.

Simulation Core

Event-driven execution with a single authoritative time domain. Events are the only mechanism of state mutation.

Observation

Passive observation of committed state. Observers do not influence execution.

Telemetry Records

Canonical representation of observed behavior. Preserves semantic meaning across all outputs.

Realization

Transforms telemetry into output families. No new meaning may be introduced.

Determinism Guarantees

If determinism cannot be maintained, execution fails explicitly.

Infrastructure Independence

NetMetria does not rely on:

No virtual machines
No containers
No network emulation
No external systems

Scenario meaning is fully defined within the system. No external environment is required to produce valid outputs.

Strict Layer Separation

Cross-layer influence is forbidden.
