PROPOSE Break

Here is a case this division cannot classify.

The most useful thing you can send. It needs a case, not a replacement structure — you do not have to know how the node should divide instead.

Checking whether you are signed in…

You need an account to submit.

Only so that every submission is attributable to someone. You can still publish anonymously — that is chosen per submission, and an anonymous submission is visible to an administrator and to nobody else.

What a break is.

A division fails when something real does not fit it: an object that belongs to two components at once, or to none. Name that thing, say which node's division it defeats, and say why. You do not need to propose the fix.

Rejections are published with their reasons, and so are acceptances. A rejection is an argument about the case, not a verdict on you.

What kind of proposal

Break is first because it is the easiest to get right: it needs a case, not a replacement structure.

The thing that does not fit. One or two sentences — a specific object, event or structure, not a category.

The components you propose

Seven is the ceiling, from Miller (1956). Each component carries the same six fields a node carries; only the name is required, and an empty field is a declared gap rather than a mistake.

Leave empty if the definition is fine and only the lists below are wrong.

One per line. What falls inside.

One per line. What falls outside — and where it goes instead, if you know.

A path, the same way the node above is written. It cannot be the node itself or anything inside it.

One id per line, and they must be components of the node named above — so name the node they sit under, not one of them.

Which components it falls between or across, and why each one is wrong. Markdown is kept.

One per line. Optional — a case nobody has written up is still a case. A definition without a source is an opinion with formatting, but a counterexample can be its own evidence.

Decided per submission. Either way an administrator can see the account behind it; the public cannot.
