The told version

The story as someone would actually say it out loud.

The part

What it is

Written the way it would be spoken rather than the way it would be published, because speaking is how it travels.

Thirty seconds is a realistic target. Anything longer is edited by the teller, and their edit is not yours.

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.
