How We Name Things --- Choose Your Depth
*****************************************************

The balospe.com naming system assigns every axiom, theorem, objection,
and response a stable label that humans can read and machines can parse.
The system is called BEST Names --- **B**\ rief, **E**\ xplicit,
**S**\ ummarizing, **T**\ itle --- and it is designed for audiences from
beginners to architects. Pick the level of detail you need:

   * - :ref:`Easy <naming-easy>`
     - **Just want to understand the labels?** Start here. Plain
       language, no jargon, under 500 words. If you clicked a link and
       want to know what ``Pet ax5`` means, this is the page.

   * - :ref:`Producer <naming-producer>`
     - **Teaching or writing about these axioms?** This page covers the
       prose citation convention, worldview perspectives, version
       pinning, and everything else you need to reference these
       elements correctly in a sermon, lecture, or paper.

   * - :ref:`Expert <naming-expert>`
     - **Working with the full system?** The complete reference: all 5
       dimensions, the label grammar, every registry (models, element
       types, versions, depths, views/sources/languages), the PoR field
       list, and the extraction matrix. This is the page a researcher
       bookmarks.

   * - :ref:`Architect <naming-architect>`
     - **Building on this system?** The technical design: why hyphens,
       the LL(1) parsing proof, collision-free construction, the
       compilation skill, Sphinx integration, link stability policy, how
       to add new models and dimensions, and known limitations from the
       adversarial stress-test.
