***********************************************************************
Salt --- Adversarial Review Crystals
***********************************************************************

The Salt system organizes HELL's adversarial review into coherent **crystals**
--- thematic clusters where related objections (Con\ :sup:`-`) and responses
(Pro\ :sup:`+`) are held together, like the Na\ :sup:`-`\ Cl\ :sup:`+` ion
pairs that form a grain of salt.

Each crystal is as large as possible while remaining thematically coherent.
If material relates to more than one crystal, it is cross-referenced from all
relevant crystals --- some day, someone may discover how to fuse those smaller
crystals into a larger one. In this literal sense, HELL can freeze over: the
crystallization process continues until all adversarial material has found its
stable lattice position.

The individual Con and Pro entries remain at their stable ``hell/con/b/<N>/``
and ``hell/pro/b/<N>/`` paths. The crystals provide thematic navigation and
summary without moving the underlying evidence.

.. admonition:: Next free number

   The next available salt crystal is: **b19**
