Concepts¶

Concept pages explain why Talea separates operations and where canonical truth lives. Read them when API signatures alone do not explain the behavior.

1. Mental model
2. Specs
3. Contracts
4. Strictness and boundaries
5. Composition and inheritance
6. Generics and recursion
7. Tagged unions
8. Derived and PATCH contracts

The reference describes exact APIs and the engineering section covers architecture, security, performance, and adoption tradeoffs.
