What is a FieldObject?
A FieldObject is a governed, versioned field that carries more than a place to store an answer. It carries the contract for how that answer is obtained, checked, routed and used.
Identity & Interface
field_id, version and interface definition establish what the object is and how it is addressed.
Intelligence & Logic
Capability flags define which governed AI behaviors the field may use.
Validation & Constraint
Technical and semantic rules define what must be true before a value is accepted.
Graph & Routing
requires_fields and calls_fields let the field participate directly in workflow sequencing.
Artifact Placement
The field carries the destination, priority and output format for its contribution.
Provenance
Version, source, approval and integrity information preserve the identity of the contract being executed.
The field becomes portable governance.
A compatible runtime does not need to reinterpret the intent from prose. It retrieves the approved object, honors its contract and records the version it executed.
