Mechanisms by Domain Group¶
The 8 groups the canonical domains roll up into, applied to the mechanism corpus — a reading aid for the roster, not a second taxonomy. A domain belongs to exactly one group, declared in the roster itself; nothing stores a group on an entity. 9,858 mechanisms occupy 63 of the 65 domains, counted by primary origin. The abstraction layers have their own group view, kept separate because a mechanism is not an abstraction.
