## Entries

- [The kind taxonomy](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/schema/the-kind-taxonomy.md): Every record is classified by this closed kind taxonomy, listed in decision order with each kind's discriminator, what it is distinguished from, the definition…
- [The relation ranges](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/schema/the-relation-ranges.md): The relation ranges say which kinds each edge relation may point at.
- [The forces](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/schema/the-forces.md): The algorithms and principles are joined by these canonical forces. Each force names the contracts that answer to it and the principles whose scope it is.
- [The layer topology](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/schema/the-layer-topology.md): The layer topology holds the four core layers, the domains beneath them, the cross-cutting domains and the edges that join them.
- [The membership](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/schema/the-membership.md): Every category of principle and term is listed with the layer it belongs to.
- [The resolutions](https://banes-lab.com/ontology/schema/the-resolutions.md): Every tension edge in the canon is listed with its resolution, meaning the two records, the mechanism that settles it, the layer each side owns and the rule.
