Campaign Execution

This lattice models the execution hierarchy that built this entire documentation site. Operation Rosetta — the campaign that produced every page you can navigate here — follows exactly this workflow: campaigns decompose into phased missions, missions decompose into session-sized objectives, and human gates prevent auto-advancement between phases.

The workflow includes feedback loops: when a session closes but objectives remain, it loops back to open a new session. When all objectives in a mission complete, the AAR protocol fires before the next mission starts. These cycles mirror the OODA cascade described in the aDNA standard.

How it connects

This lattice demonstrates Mission Decomposition as an executable graph. The phase gate node implements the standing order that phase transitions require human approval. The AAR node at mission close implements the SITREP and Mission protocols. See The Convergence Model for how each level narrows context.

    Campaign execution hierarchy for aDNA operational projects. Models the
    Campaign -> Mission -> Objective decomposition with phase gates, session
    tracking, and AAR protocol. Self-referential: this lattice models Operation
    Rosetta's own execution model in how/campaigns/campaign_rosetta/.
