Philosophy: Sovereign, Resilient, Intelligent, Carrier-Grade

1. Platform Identity

Platform Name

Souverix

Derived from souveraineté (sovereignty), modernized for:

  • Carrier-grade authority
  • Military resilience
  • AI-native architecture
  • Canadian roots
  • Clean ASCII namespace
  • Long-term product scalability

Souverix represents:

  • Sovereign signaling control
  • Border authority
  • Cryptographic independence
  • Federated domain intelligence
  • Interconnect mastery

Platform Identity Statement

Souverix is a sovereign signaling platform engineered for carrier and defense-grade interconnect control.

It is:

  • AI-native - Souverix Vigie intelligence engine
  • Cloud-native - Containerized, Kubernetes/OpenShift-ready
  • Cryptographically sovereign - Souverix Autorite PKI authority
  • Border-aware - Souverix Rempart fortified control
  • Regulation-ready - Souverix Mandat & Priorite compliance
  • Federated by design - Souverix Federation inter-domain control

Souverix does not merely implement IMS. It redefines it under sovereign doctrine.

2. Architectural Principles

  • French-rooted terminology (modernized, ASCII-clean)
  • No accents in production names - Clean namespace
  • Clear doctrinal hierarchy - Logical component structure
  • Modular microservice alignment - Independent scaling
  • Cloud-native (CNF-first) - Kubernetes/OpenShift optimized
  • Golang-native - Modern runtime (Go 1.23+)
  • AI-integrated by design - Souverix Vigie intelligence layer
  • Vault / HSM integrated - Souverix Autorite cryptographic authority
  • Regulatory compliant - Lawful Intercept, Emergency Services
  • Interoperable across sovereign domains - Souverix Federation

Vigie is the intelligent sentinel of the signaling plane.

4.6 🎯 Souverix Mandat

Role: Lawful Intercept Orchestration

Mandat = legal warrant authority.

Functions: - Signaling duplication - Media duplication - Mediation device integration - Intercept lifecycle management - Audit compliance tracking - Jurisdiction-aware enforcement - Warrant activation/deactivation - Multi-target scaling

Standards: - 3GPP TS 33.107 (LI for IMS) - ETSI TS 102 232 (Handover Interfaces)

Mandat enforces sovereign lawful access requirements.

4.7 🚨 Souverix Priorite
