LOGISTICS × ROBOTICS = Warehouse automation, autonomous delivery (ISO 3691-4 + ISO 10218)
LOGISTICS × MANUFACTURING = Just-in-time supply, factory logistics (ISO 28000 + IEC 62443)
LOGISTICS × AGRICULTURE = Farm-to-fork traceability, cold chain (GS1 + GlobalG.A.P.)
LOGISTICS × ENERGY = Fuel logistics, pipeline operations (ISO 28000 + API)
LOGISTICS × DEFENSE = Military logistics, MILSTRIP/MILSTAMP (ISO 28000 + DFARS)
LOGISTICS × MEDICINE = Pharmaceutical distribution, GDP (DSCSA + ISO 28000)
LOGISTICS × FINANCE = Trade finance, letter of credit (GS1 + UCP 600)
LOGISTICS × SAFETY = Hazmat transport, dangerous goods (IMDG + ADR + 49 CFR)
LOGISTICS × SECURITY = Cargo screening, supply chain security (C-TPAT + ISO 28000)
LOGISTICS × QUALITY = Incoming inspection, supplier quality (GS1 + ISO 9001)
10 cross-domain compositions. Each strengthens PROV-002 and PROV-006 patent claims.
Every handoff in the supply chain MUST be documented with sender, receiver, timestamp, and condition. No gaps.
Example: A pharmaceutical shipment transfers from manufacturer to 3PL to hospital. Each handoff generates a GS1 EPCIS event: ObjectEvent (what), BizTransaction (why), BizLocation (where), EventTime (when). The receiving party confirms condition. Any gap in the chain = ungoverned product.
Temperature-sensitive products MUST maintain governed temperature throughout transport. Excursions MUST trigger documented response.
Example: A vaccine shipment requires 2-8°C. Temperature loggers record every 5 minutes. If temperature exceeds 8°C for >15 minutes, an excursion event triggers: (1) notification to quality, (2) product hold, (3) stability assessment per USP <1079>, (4) disposition decision. The product does not release without documented excursion review.
Cross-border shipments MUST comply with trade regulations of origin, transit, and destination countries. Documentation MUST precede goods.
Example: An electronics shipment from China to the US requires: commercial invoice, packing list, HTS classification, ISF (10+2) filing 24 hours before loading, CBP entry, and duty payment. Misclassification of HTS code = penalty. The documentation chain MUST be complete before the container loads.
Carriers MUST meet safety and qualification requirements. No dispatch with unqualified driver or non-compliant equipment.
Example: A Class 8 truck hauling hazmat requires: CDL with hazmat endorsement, current medical certificate, HOS compliance (11/14/70 rules per 49 CFR 395), ELD recording, vehicle inspection per 49 CFR 396, and hazmat placard per 49 CFR 172. Missing any one = no dispatch.
Delivery to the final recipient MUST generate proof. No delivery without recipient confirmation or documented exception.
Example: A prescription medication delivery requires signature, photo proof of delivery, and temperature confirmation. If the recipient is not available, the driver MUST follow the exception procedure: second attempt within 24 hours, or return to pharmacy with documented chain of custody maintained throughout.
`` DECLARE(ColdChainCompliance) = GDP × CANONIC
Where: GDP (Good Distribution Practice) provides Structure: - Temperature mapping and qualification - Transport validation (seasonal routes) - Excursion management procedures - Calibration requirements (NIST-traceable) - Documentation and record retention
CANONIC provides Governance: - C1: Temperature range claims per product - C2: Continuous monitoring evidence (logger data) - Temporal: Excursion duration thresholds, response times - Relational: Shipper/carrier/receiver handoffs - C5: Cold chain operations (loading, transit, delivery) - C6: GDP/USP/WHO standards conformance
Result: ColdChainCompliance = ENTERPRISE (#63)
Cold Chain Lifecycle: Qualify — Route and packaging qualified Ship — Logger activated, product loaded Monitor — Continuous temperature tracking Deliver — Handoff confirmed, logger downloaded Release — QA review, product released `
` DECLARE(CustomsClearance) = WCO × CANONIC
Where: WCO/CBP provides Structure: - Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification - Import Security Filing (ISF 10+2) - Entry summary (CBP Form 7501) - Country of origin determination - Free trade agreement qualification
CANONIC provides Governance: - C1: Classification and valuation claims - C2: Trade documentation evidence - Temporal: Filing deadlines (ISF 24h, entry 15 days) - Relational: Importer/broker/CBP jurisdictions - C5: Customs operations (filing, examination, release) - C6: WCO/CBP/FTA standards conformance
Result: CustomsClearance = ENTERPRISE (#63)
Clearance Lifecycle: Classify — HTS code determined, origin verified File — ISF submitted, entry filed Examine — CBP review, inspection if selected Clear — Duties paid, goods released Settle — Reconciliation complete ``
| Validator | Checks | Example Failure |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Shipment claims declared (contents, value, origin) | Undeclared hazmat in shipment |
| C2 | Chain-of-custody evidence complete (EPCIS events) | Gap in handoff documentation |
| Temporal | Transit windows, filing deadlines, SLA compliance | ISF filed after vessel departure |
| Relational | Carrier qualification, trade lane compliance, jurisdiction | Unqualified driver dispatched |
| C5 | Operations procedures executed (loading, delivery, exception) | Cold chain excursion without response |
| C6 | GS1/ISO 28000/GDP conformance validated | Non-compliant shipment labeling |
To create a CANONIC logistics vertical:
Identify logistics domain (ocean, air, ground, warehouse, last-mile, cold chain) Determine risk level and map to MAGIC tier Create scope with CANON.md inheriting /LOGISTICS/ Define chain-of-custody claims per GS1/EPCIS Map to regulatory framework (customs, carrier safety, GDP, DSCSA) Implement validators for handoff evidence, temperature monitoring, compliance Document coverage with operational evidence
Result: Owned logistics vertical with chain-of-custody-governed operations.
