Read service mappings and proposed data paths

Why this matters

A service name needs a role in the composition, not just a logo.

Data movement needs identity, source, sink, runtime and governance context.

Step by step

1. 01

   Read the chain left to right

   Screen or control: P4 environment map

   Why: Each layer contributes context without replacing the previous layer’s identities.

   How: Open P4 and follow the four diagram boxes. Read the text under Edge runtime proposal.

   What you should see: The edge stage is a runtime/adapter/local-data proposal, not a qualified deployed host.

   Verify: Do not rewrite the proposal label as an installed adapter or verified edge service.

2. 02

   Inspect the selected mappings

   Screen or control: AWS · retained service mappings

   Why: Service names alone do not establish a physical-to-cloud integration.

   How: Read service1–service3 under AWS. Compare the list with #/P4/cloud/candidatePatterns/0/serviceBindings in package JSON.

   What you should see: IoT Core, S3 and Lambda remain retained pattern names.

   Verify: Note that an account, region, endpoint, credentials and binding-test receipt are not supplied.

3. 03

   Read proposed data-path states

   Screen or control: Retained data paths

   Why: A flow diagram must retain whether movement is proposed or observed.

   How: Scroll to the three data-path rows. Read source, sink and current state for each.

   What you should see: Identity/state observation and protocol/result context are design-only; provenance projection is local-fixture-only.

   Verify: Record #/P4/flows/0, /1 and /2 separately. Do not state that observations were transmitted.

4. 04

   Trace the exact environment definition

   Screen or control: AWS design-document graph link · Inspect exact JSON

   Why: A P4 design artifact must remain an addressable document in P5.

   How: Open the exact AWS design-document node in P5 and inspect its retained relationships and source evidence.

   What you should see: The design GDTI remains part of the same anonymous graph, with authored evidence and unknown authority.

   Verify: Distinguish this document identity from a real cloud resource identifier or deployment event.

What is happening under the surface

The diagram shows Physical composition → Edge runtime proposal → selected cloud option → Provenance & MCP.

The source serviceBindings are generic retained mappings, not actual endpoints or operational integrations.

Three flow records retain source, sink and currentState. Two are design-only and provenance projection is local-fixture-only.

Common mistakes

• A source/sink label is not a configured URL or host.
• A cloud-pattern GDTI does not identify a created cloud resource.
• A proposed provenance projection is not a live MCP connection or executed upload.

The records an agent needs

The edge-host GIAI candidate is an identified participant in the broader composition, not proof that an adapter or service is running. The proposed flow records are separate from observed network transfers.

Pointers locate records; hashes pin bytes; lesson numbers locate teaching material. None substitutes for an applicable assigned GS1 identity.

Apply what you learned

Create a proposed data-flow review with explicit gaps at every boundary.

Prepare these outputs

• Three source/sink/state rows with exact source pointers.
• The selected provider mappings and design-document GDTI.
• Missing endpoint, runtime, security and transfer-evidence requirements.

Review your work against these checks

• Every flow remains design-only or local-fixture-only as supplied.
• No observed traffic or live service is invented.
• Physical identities are not replaced by generic cloud service labels.

Source and current boundaries

Screen basis: the anonymous public educational fixture at /api/demo/pillars, namespace 0614141. No private company record is read by this course.

Pinned assessed package SHA-256: b06ee255d0943a048511092595db4b98281b9b761d1910d19e6c3dba82591d94. Its complete graph contains 329 nodes and 231 directed relationships; original excluded assertions remain separately retained provenance. Lesson locators are educational numbers, not issued GS1 keys.

Scope: fictional authored records, non-issued identity proposals, unknown authority, no physical command, assay validation, cloud deployment or execution authorization.

Reading, answering a question and opening a diagram do not issue identifiers, validate a scientific method, establish company authority, commission an environment or authorize physical action.
