selección de modo

The choice of a subordinate verb's mood by the word that introduces the clause rather than by the speaker of it.

Most of the time the mood of a subordinate verb is not a choice at all. The introducing predicate or conjunction belongs to a class, the class fixes the mood, and the verb has no say in it, which is why the operation is stated over the introducing word and not over the subordinate clause. That leaves a third class where both moods are grammatical, and this is the only place the mood contrast means anything on its own. Recording the split this way puts the residue where the content is, which inverts the usual presentation: a description that lists governing predicates exhaustively spends its length on the cases that carry no information and passes quickly over the cases that do.

An empty list, which is an assertion: this rests on nothing external, and somebody checked. It is not the same as nobody having looked.

What it does, and when it fires

operation.rule

The domain it works in, and the firing condition as a sentence. The checkable form of that condition is the selects group below.

triggertrigger

A clause is subordinated by a predicate or a conjunction whose class decides the mood of the verb inside it.

How much it covers

operation.coverage

How many cases the operation actually derives, out of how many it claims, and how that was counted.

derives 2 of 3enumerated

The class of introducing words that admit both moods, where each is grammatical and the choice states something the speaker means. The operation covers the two classes that decide and leaves the one class where the mood is not selected but chosen, which is where the contrast carries meaning.

every case was counted

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.

None in this view. This subgraph happens to be a tree, which the explorer draws as one without assuming it is one.

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

A4

One 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.
