Message architecture · The master message · Element
The message
The one thing, in its agreed wording.
The part
What it is
It should be recognisable as an expression of the position rather than a separate claim, or the two will pull against each other.
Held fixed, and quoted rather than paraphrased, for the same reason the position is.
The smallest level
The attributes it carries
Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
The other elements in the master message
The test
