Holarchy
What direction does this Yawn serve?
Navigate related inquiries while retaining identity, source, responsibility, and boundaries.

What is a purpose vector?What is a holarchy in Yawn?
An organization in which a Yawn can be a whole inquiry and also participate in a larger one. Each record has at most one primary parent, while other relationships can cross that containment tree. The wider relationship graph need not be a tree.

This question orients the model. Reading activity cannot displace it.
The remaining questions follow the selected ordering mode.
Can each question be its own Yawn?
Yes, when it needs its own continuing answer, sources, relationships, or responsibility. These public models expose an address and portable .yawn file for each question. That export alone does not create a separately running agent or a private database record for every question.

What does a relationship add beyond a folder or slash?
A typed link can express containment, dependency, evidence, conflict, or a shared context. It should identify the records and the basis for the connection. Similar words, nearby UI elements, or matching URL prefixes do not establish the relationship.

How much of the graph depends on this question?
Inspect declared dependencies and count distinct reachable questions once. Cycles and multiple paths must not amplify the count. This local count is an estimate of structural reach, not proof of importance or a probability of a good outcome.

When should we split, reuse, link, or hold?
Reuse an existing question when it already carries the same inquiry. Link different perspectives or contexts. Split when an independent inquiry needs maintenance. Hold when more structure would add complexity without improving the next decision.
