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.
