 *   result fits.
-*
-* The relation is sound: a member of `found` is a member of `expected` when no `unknown` is in the types. It is not
-* complete. For example, `bool` does not fit `{ "one": [true, false] }`. The function does not throw.
+* - The finite rule comes after these rules (TYPE.FITS-FINITE). A type with at most 64 members fits when each member
+*   is a member of `expected`. Thus `bool` fits `{ "one": [true, false] }`.
+* - A base type has few members when its domain or a parent declares `values`, as `null`, `undefined` and `bool` do.
+*   A union, a `one`, a closed record of such types and a list of `never` also have few members.
+* - The cover rule comes next (TYPE.FITS-COVER, D85). A base type fits a union or a `one` when each domain of a cover
+*   fits. The cover is in `covers` of a domain of its line. Each domain of a cover is under the covered
+*   domain. Thus a cover of `number` by `neg` and `nonneg` gives `number` a fit against `neg | nonneg`.
+* - The split rule comes last (D84). An open record, or a closed record with more than 64 members, splits a field with
+*   few members over a union. A closed record also splits over a `one`. Each record of the split narrows the field to
+*   one member, and each record must fit.
+*   Thus `{ "record": { "a": "bool" } }` fits a union of a record for each value of `a`.
+* - A split also narrows a field of a record in a field, by its path (TYPE.FITS-PATH, D89). The fields of the record
+*   split first, then the paths of each next depth, in the order of the keys. A path goes into a record without a
+*   finite list. Thus `{a: {x: bool}}` fits the union of `{a: {x: true}}` and `{a: {x: false}}`.
+* - A type split comes after each value split (TYPE.FITS-SPLIT-TYPE, D90). A field of a base type with a valid cover in
+*   its line splits into the domains of the first such cover. A field of a union without a finite list splits into its
+*   members. A case that does not fit splits again at its path, by the same rules. A base type there uses only a
+*   cover of its own domain. Thus `{a: number}` fits `{a: neg} | {a: nonneg}` when `neg` and `nonneg` cover `number`.
+*
+* The relation is sound: a member of `found` is a member of `expected` when no `unknown` is in the types
+* (TYPE.FITS-SOUND). The finite rule trusts `values`, and the cover rule trusts `covers`. Thus a list without a member
+* or a false cover makes the relation unsound for that domain.
+*
+* The relation is not complete. A split builds at most 64 records, with each split inside its work at each depth. A
+* type split uses one cover of a field, not each cover of its line. A domain without `values` gets no finite rule, and

+* - An exception keeps the hidden fields of the standard classes in `hidden`, for example `errors` of an
+*   `AggregateError` (RUN.REPLAY-HIDDEN, D77). Each exception in them has the rule of a cause.
+* - An enumerable field without a term document that is an exception, a list or a plain record is in `parts`

+* - A cause without a term document that is a list or a plain record with an exception is in `causeParts`
+*   (RUN.REPLAY-CAUSE-PARTS, D87). The rule is the same for the cause of an exception and of an error value.
+* - A list or a record of parts that an earlier place of one error holds is the part `share` with its index
+*   (RUN.REPLAY-SHARED, D88). This rule also covers a container that holds itself.
+* - An outcome that the log does not have stays absent.
