C.2.P:4.3.1 - PublicationUnit use and non-use boundary

PublicationUnit means one named, bounded unit inside a publication that a person inspects as one unit: for example, one pattern body, section, table, note, card, sheet, or screen block inside that publication.

Use it when the unit boundary matters to authoring, review, navigation, or a claim about what that bounded unit exposes. Do not use it for the underlying episteme, a view, publication form, whole publication, carrier, file, interface behavior, dashboard behavior, authoring Work, or review process. Name those objects and relations directly.

The bounded unit may carry or expose claim-bearing content, but it is not identical with that content. PublicationUnit keeps the inspected publication-side boundary visible without mixing the unit with authoring action or reader action.
