+### A link inside the layer leads to a page
+
+The terms of use behind an About dialog, a profile behind a name in the
+notifications: a link inside the layer leads to another page, and the layer does
+not follow — its params are `weak`, the link drops them, and the layer closes in
+the navigation that brings the page. The back button brings both back: the page,
+and the layer over it as it was, on the tab it was on.
+
+Neither is a movement of the layer's. **The page changing is its movement**: a
+layer opened or closed by the navigation that puts another page on screen plays
+no entrance and no exit, and its slides land where the address puts them rather
+than travelling there — a tab row's indicator with them. A route transition
+towards that page already carries the layer: photographed with the page it
+covers, it leaves with that page and comes back with it
+([route_transitions.md](./route_transitions.md#pages-between-fixed-bars-the-transition-area)).
+Without one, the page cuts, and the layer cuts with it. Played on its own as
+well, the layer would move twice — dropping in over a page that is sliding.
+
+The line is the page, not how the navigation was made: the back button closing
+the layer itself (`/me?settings` → `/me`) is the layer's own movement, and plays
+its exit. A page is what navi moves between — a new path, or a param that a
+relation or a `RouteTravel` row names as a page. A search param the page merely
+reads keeps the page, and a layer that changes with it moves on its own.
