The common envelope

A node requires id, name, description, type, and kind. Optional properties, movement, boundaries, invariants, and relationships add useful context. Do not fill optional fields with invented precision.

Identity outlives location

Root node: front matter is this site’s storage convention. Its ID does not depend on its filename, folder, or URL. A concept page and an expression page can therefore participate in the same graph without sharing a directory.

The node is a model, not evidence that the modeled thing exists or behaves as claimed. Validate its structure and review its meaning separately.
