the three-term distance scale is anchored to the speech participants
Three demonstratives place a referent near the speaker, near the addressee, or away from both, so the scale is anchored to the two participants rather than to distance alone.
A two-term scale needs only a measure of distance from one point. A three-term scale needs two points, and the two points are the two participants in the speech situation. That is why the utterance-level roles carry something in this language beyond the choice of address pronoun: the middle term of the scale is defined by the addressee and not by an intermediate distance. Reading the scale as three degrees of remoteness from the speaker alone loses that, and predicts the wrong term whenever the addressee is far from the speaker.

Premises
derivation.premisesWhat has to be true for this chain to run. Roughly half of a chain's premises are other derivations, so a premise is often itself a chain.

None.
Premises and conclusions declare no order (A16); listed alphabetically by id, a display choice and not a claim about which matters most. The steps above them are the one part of this component that IS a declared sequence, read from the applies-to composition chain.
Conclusions
derivation.conclusionsWhat the chain establishes. This is a set rather than a single fact: 45 percent of sampled derivations conclude about several things at once, and the several-ness is the claim.
Coverage, and what it does not reach
derivation.coverageThe arithmetic half is a required field and the build checks it. The residue rows are the structured half of the same statement.

every case was counted, and the count closes: nothing is left over
Residue
No residue row. Where the coverage statement above says nothing is left over, that agreement is the record being consistent with itself; where it does not, the structured half is missing.Everything joined to this object
One group per typed edge, in both directions. A1b guarantees no object node is an orphan, so this is the whole navigation: an object with no edges would have failed the build rather than reached this page.
What this object is a kind of
Walking this object's own `is-a` edges: what it is a kind of. Several branches from one object are several classification axes, not competing supertypes.

Siblings are listed by name, then by id to break ties. That is a display choice made here and not an order the graph asserts.
Fan-out per dimension
A4One row per dimension, largest first. That is a display order, not a verdict: 03-schema.md declares no threshold above which fan-out is too much, so this reports the count and grades nothing.

Walking the `is-a` edges that point at this object: what kinds of it there are. An object reachable two ways is drawn in both places and is still one object.
