Positional Slot Resolution

Kind: mechanism

Layer: Structural Core

Record: architecture:positional-slot-resolution

Severity: mandatory

Scope: folder, filename

Canonical: Ontology

A mechanism that reads each word of a path by the slot it lands in, so the last dot-segment before a file's extension is always its concern and a folder named after a concern tag resolves as the latest role its depth can legally take.

Listed in Architecture principles, after Closed Vocabulary and before Concern-Folder Correspondence.
