The stake
What was at risk.
The part
What it is
Tension requires something to lose. Without a stake, a difficulty is an anecdote.
The stake does not have to be existential; it has to be real to the people in the story.
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.
