Schema
The resolutions
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. An explicit resolution is one the canon states, and the rest are derived from the layers the two sides occupy, by the derivation described in separate, trade, or mitigate on the architecture page.
