C.32.CONWAY:11 - SoTA-Echoing

These rows document transfers from source practice into C.32.CONWAY. Each row names the field, repair row, or boundary that uses the source’s contribution. The source family supports architecture practice; it does not decide actor identity or make a relation obtain.

Melvin Conway, How Do Committees Invent? (https://www.melconway.com/Home/Committees_Paper.html)Original source for pressure between communication arrangements and the structure of designed systems.Treat communication and organization architecture as influence on candidates.influenceSourceRows[] and the exact pair row name the source architecture, transformed architecture, selected structures, relation occurrence, and changed referent.The organization or its architecture is not inferred to be the acting system; candidate pressure is not a universal Conway relation.
MacCormack, Rusnak, and Baldwin 2012 mirroring hypothesis (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2012.04.011) and Colfer and Baldwin 2016 exceptions survey (https://www.hbs.edu/ris/Publication%20Files/16-124_7ae90679-0ce6-4d72-9e9d-828872c7af49.pdf)Empirical and theory line for product-architecture and organization-architecture mirroring and exceptions.Use mirroring as a correspondence hypothesis over selected structures and an evolution window.Failure and conformance rows require affected characteristics, exceptions, source return, and C.29 for structural-similarity claims.Mirroring does not establish adequacy, actor equality, relation occurrence, or an entire network.
DORA loosely coupled teams, last updated 2025-10-20 (https://dora.dev/capabilities/loosely-coupled-teams/)Practitioner line tying architecture, team independence, testing, deployment, and coordination load.Treat those arrangements as typed influence sources when they constrain a service architecture candidate.Candidate forms expose source-side retargeting, transformed-side retargeting, joint change, and bounded mismatch.Team autonomy or work-transfer counts do not identify actors, Work, or an architecture-influence occurrence without their direct facts.
Team Topologies key concepts (https://teamtopologies.com/key-concepts)Organization-design family for fast flow, interaction modes, cognitive load, platform teams, and evolving boundaries.Use team types and interaction modes as candidate influence sources, not acting kinds.Influence-source rows retain exact source kind and relation; candidate rows retain migration cost, burden, and evolution window.Team-topology vocabulary creates neither a system-role kind or assignment nor Work, module relation, authority, or decision claims.

Source-currentness boundary. Recheck a row when the changed referent, acting and performance facts, influence source or relation, architecture pair, selected structures, evolution window, source practice, or pattern for the next question changes. If the source no longer supports the selected local pressure, lower it to background lineage; do not preserve a technical claim by name alone.
