+# General Web Application — Generative Sequence
+
+Status: hypothesis
+
+## Starting question
+
+How should a web application progressively resolve its frontend architecture without starting from a framework choice?
+
+## Sequence
+
+### 1. Characterize the experience
+
+Identify:
+
+- dominant user activities,
+- interaction intensity,
+- continuity requirements,
+- collaboration requirements,
+- offline requirements,
+- addressability requirements,
+- latency sensitivity.
+
+### 2. Place authority
+
+Choose among patterns such as:
+
+- Server Authority
+- Local Authority
+- Replicated Authority
+- Event-Log Authority
+
+### 3. Establish addressability
+
+Determine what must be named, linked, revisited, bookmarked or shared.
+
+Potential patterns:
+
+- URL as Application State
+- Resource Address
+- Hierarchical Route
+
+### 4. Place projection
+
+Determine where perceivable state is derived.
+
+Potential patterns:
+
+- Static Projection
+- Server Projection
+- Client Projection
+- Hybrid Projection
+- Streaming Projection
+
+### 5. Choose the communication window
+
+Determine whether communication is:
+
+- request/response,
+- polling,
+- long-lived,
+- streamed,
+- replicated,
+- peer-to-peer.
+
+### 6. Add local affordances
+
+Identify state that should remain near the user interaction.
+
+Potential patterns:
+
+- Local Interaction State
+- Pending State
+- Immediate Feedback
+- Optimistic Overlay
+
+### 7. Define mutation and reconciliation
+
+Decide:
+
+- command shape,
+- idempotency,
+- conflict handling,
+- invalidation,
+- resynchronization.
+
+### 8. Establish feature boundaries
+
+Determine which domain and interaction capabilities can evolve independently.
+
+### 9. Establish deployment boundaries
+
+Only split independent deployment where the organizational and runtime forces justify it.
+
+### 10. Strengthen quality boundaries
+
+Apply accessibility, failure containment, security, privacy, observability and performance patterns.
+
+### 11. Measure and adapt
+
+Observe runtime behavior and revisit earlier choices when actual forces differ from assumed forces.
+
+## Research status
+
+This sequence must be tested against contrasting architectures:
+
+- content site,
+- CRUD SaaS,
+- real-time dashboard,
+- collaborative editor,
+- e-commerce storefront,
+- local-first application,
+- microfrontend estate.
