Explanation

TOGAF adopts the ISO/IEC 42010 definition of 'architecture' as: the structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time. This is TOGAF's formal definition of the term 'architecture' itself - not a view, model, artifact, or deliverable. A View is a representation of a system from a stakeholder's perspective; an Artifact is a specific architectural work product; a Deliverable is a contractual output; a Model is a representation used within an artifact.
