Changelog — Compute Budgeting
Frozen Baseline discipline. Material changes only.
Version 1.0
Published: 2026-06-17
- Initial structural baseline publication.
- Definition of compute budgeting established as a structured process governing the prioritization, allocation, commitment, and use of limited computational resources.
- Scope boundaries formalized (included / excluded).
- Structural phase model introduced (resource availability → constraint definition → priority assessment → budget policy → budgeting decision → budget allocation → resource commitment → execution → budget state).
- Structural component model introduced (resource pool, constraint, priority policy, budget policy, budgeting decision, budget allocation, resource commitment, budget state).
- Compute budgeting interpreted as a governance mechanism emerging from scarcity, decision-making, allocation, commitment, execution, and observable resource states.
- Historical source architecture introduced spanning decision theory, management, operations research, systems theory, and computational resource management.
- Compute budgeting defined as a structural model for computational resource governance rather than a vendor-specific, hardware-specific, or implementation-specific practice.
- Mandatory legal, privacy, terms, and license pages implemented.
Status: Frozen Baseline
Change Policy
Changes are recorded only if:
- The definitional boundary materially evolves.
- A structural clarification alters conceptual framing.
- Primary institutional reference frameworks materially change.
- A compliance-relevant correction is required for accuracy.
Minor editorial, stylistic, or formatting corrections are not versioned.
Versioning Logic
Version increments follow semantic clarity rules:
- Major increment — Definitional or structural shift.
- Minor increment — Material clarification without conceptual shift.
- No increment — Editorial refinement only.
