CFAM (also XF) is a technology-agnostic, verifiable architectural reference model for the interior of a software artifact.
Its purpose is to give software construction a single, framework-independent vocabulary and structure. Mainstream frameworks each impose their own names and conventions for the same component roles; CFAM replaces that fragmentation with one closed taxonomy — the L×T matrix — and a canonical nomenclature that any language or framework can adopt. In short, it aims to do for the interior of a software artifact what OSI did for communication between systems.
The model is published as an open normative specification so that it can be cited, taught, audited, and adopted freely.
