The channel

How someone raises it.

What it is

A named person, reachable directly, without a form. The formality of the route is inversely related to how often it is used.

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.
