# Architecture

### Composite Structure Architecture

FIG.2 illustrates the architecture of a composite structure within the Vitruvian Nexus Protocol.

Composite structure 200 consists of a decentralized intelligence model 202, interface blueprint 204, and asset linkage 206, which connects the composite structure 200 with a unique NFT housed on a distributed ledger system 210.

Elements 202, 204, and 206 represent data components stored in a structured format. These elements can be interconnected in numerous ways, such as through the use of pointers, by being encapsulated within a singular data structure, or via relational databases.

Furthermore, these elements can either directly contain the corresponding data or code, or alternatively, they can reference the data or code through a URL or another form of identifier. For instance, the decentralized intelligence model 202 might either embody the code required for model execution or, as depicted in FIG. 2, might incorporate a link to the location where the model code is stored.

The distributed ledger system 210 operates within a decentralized framework, such as a blockchain network.

The NFT acts as a distinctive token, serving to identify and assert ownership of the composite structure 200. This is maintained irrespective of the particular execution environment where the composite structure 200 is actively utilized.
