Part 1 · Understand
Words we use
Terms of art, defined once. Every other page links here.
01What it is
The short list of words this product uses in a specific way. Each one is defined once, here.
02Why it exists
A term used loosely in documentation becomes a term used loosely in conversation, and then two people mean different things by "signal". These are the definitions the code uses.
03How to use it
- 01Read it once. Come back when a page uses a word in a way that surprises you.
- 02Note the two words that are deliberately absent below, and why.
No worked example here
A glossary has no strong and weak example. The definitions are the content.
