The Architecture of Intent: Designing Systems That Remember Why They Exist
In a world of rapid iteration, machine learning, and policy uncertainty, systems often lose sight of the very reason they were built. Features are delivered, metrics are met—but purpose drifts.

The Architecture of Intent offers a new vision for building systems that don't just work—they align, adapt, and remain true to their founding goals. Majeed Javdani, an international law practitioner and digital governance strategist, blends logic programming, model-driven design, and ethical reasoning into a practical manifesto for the future of system development.

This book is for those who believe that code without purpose is failure in disguise—and that the systems we create must remember, reflect, and respond to the values we entrust them with.

You'll learn how to:
• Encode strategic intent into systems using Prolog and declarative logic
• Detect and prevent "intent drift" in evolving environments
• Build traceable, testable, and transparent logic for alignment and compliance
• Translate stakeholder narratives into machine-interpretable rules
• Govern complex systems with ethical foresight and technical clarity

Whether you're an architect, regulator, product leader, or policymaker, this book will change the way you think about purpose in technology—and the systems we trust to carry it forward.
