G.2:4.6 - Palette first
SoTAPaletteDescription is one plurality-preserving palette.
It is not by itself one Front, one Archive, or one Shortlist.
When that palette’s members are traditions, TraditionPalette is the reader-facing tradition-only palette head over the same palette declaration, not one second governing definition. For methods, hypotheses, or other members, keep SoTAPaletteDescription or Palette + SubjectKind explicit instead.
Traditions remain in the palette until a later surface declares comparison, retention, or choice semantics explicitly.
TraditionFront is one derived view over the declared palette under one declared Q; the Q basis stays pinned separately and the view does not rename Tradition or SoTAPaletteDescription.
TraditionArchive is one derived retention view over that same palette under one declared reachability or coverage rule; that rule stays pinned separately and the view does not turn the palette into one archive by default.
When one derived tradition view is shown, keep the base palette recoverable at the same time.
When comparison or retention needs richer geometry or atlas language, treat that as support for the derivation rather than as the default meaning of the palette.
A reader should be able to say both this is the palette and this is the derived tradition view currently being shown without collapsing those two objects.
