The Canonical Object Family

The reference repository defines ten canonical object types:

Object	Primary role
research_space	Governs the scope and identity of an investigation
question	Records what is being asked
observation	Records what was noticed or measured
verification	Records how something was checked
evidence	Records relevance to a question, claim, or model
explanatory_model	Proposes a coherent account
reasoning	Exposes inferential steps
current_understanding	States the present synthesis
relationship	Connects canonical objects
monologue	Presents a human-readable reflective narrative

These types are not arbitrary folders. Together they separate roles that are frequently mixed in ordinary notes. The separation makes disagreement and revision more precise.
