Deterministic Mechanics

Why ordering guarantees are part of Flexweave's public contract.

Flexweave favors deterministic primitive behavior. Identical primitive inputs should produce repeatable object ids, iteration order, query results, lifecycle facts, and store-driver ordering.

This matters for tests, simulations, replays, debugging, content validation, and server-side command processing. A runtime can compare expected facts against actual facts without fighting incidental map ordering.

Determinism does not mean Flexweave controls the whole application. If a consumer runtime reads nondeterministic external state, uses unordered collections outside Flexweave, or publishes facts to an async system, that runtime owns the additional ordering policy.

Use Flexweave's deterministic surfaces as stable building blocks inside a larger runtime that may have its own scheduling and concurrency model.
