Section
A simple grouping of related items in a study — a cluster, a theme, a phase.
Why it matters: Structure however the findings naturally group — without forcing a rigid template.
What it holds
title+kind(e.g. theme, phase)member_ids— any graph nodes (councils, notes, studies …)order+ optionalparent_idfor the outlinepresentation— optional display hints
Data shape
A real, trimmed record (stored as JSON):
{
"id": "sec_1…", "project_id": "proj_a91…",
"title": "Problem exploration", "kind": "theme",
"member_ids": ["council_4c1…", "note_8e…", "syn_22b…"],
"order": 1, "parent_id": null
}What it's made of
A section is a reference grouping, not containment: its members live on in the graph and can appear in several sections.
