The boundaries

What is genuinely open and what is already decided.

The part

What it is

Consultation within stated boundaries is honest and useful. Consultation that implies everything is open when most of it is not is neither.

Naming what is fixed also produces better input, because people spend their attention on what can change.

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.
