The record

What was found, including nothing.

The part

What it is

A run of checks finding nothing is evidence the market is stable rather than evidence nobody looked, provided it is recorded.

The record is also what lets a later surprise be traced: whether the signal was there and missed, or genuinely absent.

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.
