Division
A HEART Division is a research-coupled domain-stewardship body whose principal normative output is a versioned Domain Profile. It keeps domain knowledge and participation adaptable without turning one theory, method, profession, or certification stack into the universal core.
Division versus Domain Profile
| Division | Domain Profile |
|---|---|
| Maintains research, evidence, affected-community participation, source monitoring, competence needs, and change proposals. | Carries adopted, versioned normative domain requirements, scope, evidence basis, claim ceiling, and adaptation rules. |
| May produce research, methods, professional inputs, and guidance with explicit classifications. | Conforms to the Profile Specification and composes with Sources and Deployments. |
| Has an institutional lifecycle such as proposed, incubating, active, under review, dormant, merged, or retired. | Has its own document status and version lineage. |
Eight Domain Profiles v1.0 are current: Emotional Autonomy, Attentional Integrity, Cognitive/Epistemic Coherence, Developmental Interaction, Somatic/Embodied Interface, Relational Architecture, Ecological Stewardship, and Representational Integrity.
Their existence does not automatically establish that eight operational Divisions have satisfied the capacity conditions for ACTIVE status. See HEART Divisions and Domain Profiles.
