Modular Open Systems Concepts Applied to PURiK

Preliminary study notes about modular decomposition, documented interfaces, message exchange, and component substitution in small-scale sensor architecture.

Study focus

A short early study connecting Modular Open Systems Approach principles to experimental microcontroller code organization and communications.

The original note discusses separated sensor and network source modules, defined external interfaces, structured JSON messages, and verification of observable interface behavior.

Interpretation

MOSA is a design approach, not certification obtained merely by using modular code. The note is retained as evidence of research direction rather than as a validated standards implementation.

Scope and limitations: Preliminary synthesis of external MOSA guidance, not a formal standard, compliance assessment, or verified production implementation.
