hablante
The role held by the participant producing an utterance, which the grammar refers to whenever it marks a form as being about the one who is speaking.
The speaker is a role of the utterance and not of the clause, and the distinction matters because the grammar refers to it from inside clauses without ever giving it a position in one. Person marking is the plainest case: the value that means the one speaking is not a property of any phrase in the clause but a reference out of the clause to the situation the clause is uttered in, and the same phrase names a different participant in every new utterance. Deixis of place and of time is anchored to the same role, since near and far and now and then are computed from where the producer stands and when the producer speaks. The role is therefore what several dimensions of the graph point at when they are said to be anchored to the situation, and giving it an object rather than leaving it as a word in prose is what lets those dimensions point somewhere. It carries nothing else in this language.

The level it operates at

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.

What kinds of this object there are
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.

conditionWhat the unit conditions is the strength and the standing of the commitment behind the segment, so the role is interpretable only against the participant making that commitment. A segment with no one behind it leaves the unit with nothing to operate on.
