+A `when` is a conjunction, and two constructs open it up. `{"not": C}` is a
+constraint satisfied when the fact does *not* satisfy `C`; `any_of` is
+disjunction, holding sub-predicates as a key of a `when` and constraints as the
+value of a fact. **`not` over an absent fact is unsatisfied**, like every other
+constraint over an absent fact — so `{"not": C}` and `C` are both false on a
+record that never mentions the fact, and the two are not complements there. That
+is deliberate: predicates stay conservative, and a duty is never laid on a vessel
+because a consumer left a field out. It also means `not` is a constraint on one
+fact and never a key of a `when` — a predicate-level negation would be satisfied
+by silence, which is the one thing the absent-fact rule is there to forbid. Where
+a paragraph really does mean "any vessel other than …", the negation goes on the
+fact the paragraph names, and the fact has to be present for the entry to apply.
+
+| form | where | means |
+|---|---|---|
+| `{"gte": n}` … `{"lt": n}` | a fact's constraint | numeric comparison |
+| `["a", "b"]` | a fact's constraint | membership |
+| `"a"` / `true` / `12` | a fact's constraint | equality |
+| `{"not": C}` | a fact's constraint | the fact is present and does not satisfy `C` |
+| `{"any_of": [C, …]}` | a fact's constraint | the fact satisfies at least one `C` |
+| `"any_of": [W, …]` | a key of a `when` | at least one sub-predicate `W` holds |
+
+The `ram`/`ram_underwater` refinement belongs to the *value*, not to one
+constraint form: it applies to equality, to list membership and to each
+`any_of` disjunct alike, and `{"not": C}` negates the refined reading rather
+than sneaking underneath it. It used to fire on a scalar constraint only, so a
+list quietly missed it; that is fixed, and a list and `{"any_of": […]}` are now
+interchangeable wherever both are legal.
+
+Some facts are **derived** rather than supplied. `facts.json`'s `derived`
+section holds them, each with a decode table that is its definition — an ordered
+list of predicate/value rows, first match wins — read the same way as the
+SignalK `navigation.state` table. `fact:rule18_class` is the one that exists: a
+vessel's rank under Rule 18, decoded from her propulsion, her activity and the
+27(c) and WIG booleans, because Rule 18 ranks vessels by the Rule 3 terms of art
+and `fact:activity` answers a different question — what she *shows*. A consumer
+never supplies a derived fact.
 
 Entries **compose**: several apply to one fact record, and Rule 28 or Rule 26
 add to Rule 23 rather than replacing it. Relations between them:
 
 | relation | meaning |
 |---|---|
-| `includes` | import the referenced entry's **lights only**, never its predicate |
-| `conditional_includes` | import lights when the stated `when` holds; `one_of` is a set of legal alternatives |
-| `in_lieu_of` | this entry's lights replace the referenced entries' lights |
-| `excludes` | must not be shown together (25(c) and the tricolor) |
-| `exempts` | the referenced requirement does not apply (30(e)) |
+| `rel:includes` | import the referenced entry's **lights only**, never its predicate |
+| `rel:conditional_includes` | import lights when the stated `when` holds; `one_of` is a set of legal alternatives |
+| `rel:in_lieu_of` | this entry's lights replace the referenced entries' lights |
+| `rel:excludes` | must not be shown together (25(c) and the tricolor) |
+| `rel:exempts` | the referenced requirement does not apply (30(e)) |
+| `rel:overrides` | the superiority relation: this paragraph's requirement prevails over the referenced one's when both apply (Rule 18's "except where Rules 9, 10 and 13 otherwise require") |
+
+A condition on whether a paragraph applies to the vessel at all goes in the
+predicate; a condition on which of two applicable paragraphs prevails is a
+relation. Delete the other paragraph: if this one is still true of the vessel,
+it is a relation. Rule 28 at anchor is a predicate; Rule 18 displacing Rule 15's
+role is `rel:overrides` (REQ-MODEL-13, ADR 0005 §4).
 
 Where the rules permit a choice, the data keeps every lawful option instead of
 picking one. A 12 m sloop under sail has three legal displays: 25(a), the
 25(b) tricolor, or 25(a) plus the 25(c) red-over-green. Which one a given boat
 shows depends on what's installed, and that decision belongs to the consumer.

+13, 14 and 15 say what kind of encounter it is —
+`head-on`, `crossing` or `overtaking` — or that risk of collision exists.
+Those carry `category` and `subjects: 2`, and address each vessel
+through a subject segment: `own:fact:activity`, `other:fact:propulsion`,
+`pair:geo:in_sight`. A key with no subject means `own:`, so nothing above
+changes. `docs/identifiers.md` has the namespace and the effect vocabulary;
+`fixtures/situation-fixtures.json` is their contract.
+
+The three encounter types **partition** relative bearing. 13(b)'s overtaking
+sector is written once, as one constraint; Rule 15's crossing is `not` over
+that same constraint and `not` over Rule 14's head-on cone, so no crossing
+sector is enumerated anywhere and none can drift out of step. The suite sweeps
+both vessels' bearings in half-degree steps and asserts that exactly one
+encounter applies at every point, that 13(b)'s 22.5°-abaft-the-beam edge is
+exclusive on both sides, and that Rule 13(d)'s latch holds the classification
+at `overtaking` however far the bearing afterwards draws out. The numbers the
+Rules do not state — what counts as an appreciable bearing change, how wide
+"nearly reciprocal" is — are declared once in `facts.json` under
+`situation.constants`, marked pencil, and read from there by every entry.
+
+A situation can state geometry no two vessels can occupy, so the suite checks
+every fixture that states its kinematics against them (REQ-VERIFY-8): the two
+relative bearings must be two readings of one line of sight, positions must
+reproduce range and bearing, and CPA, TCPA and bearing rate must be the ones
+the headings and speeds give. The equations and tolerances are declared once in
+`facts.json` under `situation.geometry.consistency`. The sweeps construct
+situations that pass the same check, and the property that no two vessels are
+both give-way is asserted over a sweep of steady-bearing geometries — where it
+is a theorem — with the both-starboard geometry that breaks it pinned as one
+the check rejects.

+## Migrating from 0.1.x
+
+0.2.0 is the first release whose vocabulary identifiers carry a type prefix.
+`colregs@0.1.1`, the last version on npm, has the bare names; every 0.1.x
+consumer holds strings that no longer resolve. Renaming an identifier is a
+breaking change under REQ-PKG-4, and the rename is the one exception
+REQ-MODEL-10 records: 0.1.1 predates the identifier audit, sits outside the
+immutability baseline, and nothing after it may be renamed this way again.
+
+**What did not change.** Paragraph paths (`27(a)(i)`) and entry ids (`25b`,
+`27a-mw`) are citation-derived and stay bare. No entry id present in 0.1.1
+is removed — the 40 entries of 0.1.1 are all in 0.2.0, with 30 more.
+
+**What did.** Every light id, fact key, fact value and relation verb, in
+every place it appears: `lights.json` keys, `facts.json` keys and `values`,
+the `light` field of an entry's `lights[]`, the keys and values of an entry's
+`when` and `modality_by[].when`, the relation keys on an entry
+(`includes` → `rel:includes`, and so on), the `relations` map in
+`applicability.json`, the `light` field in `geometry.json`, the
+`signalk_navigation_state.decode` table, `actuable_subset.fields`, and the
+`facts` record of every fixture. The rule is in
+[`docs/identifiers.md`](docs/identifiers.md): a light is `light:<id>`, a
+fact key is `fact:<key>`, a value of an enumerated fact is `<fact>:<value>`,
+a relation is `rel:<name>`. The full table, generated from the two data
+sets rather than from memory:

+
+The mapping is mechanical and total: strip nothing, prepend the namespace.
+The one string that needed the prefix to disambiguate is `towing`, which in
+0.1.1 was both a light id and an `activity` value; it is now `light:towing`
+or `activity:towing` depending on which it was.
+
+A consumer that builds a fact record from SignalK `navigation.state` gets
+the new keys and values from the decode table for free. One that stored a
+0.1.1 fact record, light id or relation name must rewrite it by the table
+above; `fixtures/applicability-fixtures.json` is the check that the rewrite
+came out right.
+
+From 0.2.0 on, every identifier in the package is immutable once published
+(REQ-MODEL-10). [`data/deprecated-identifiers.json`](data/deprecated-identifiers.json)
+is the REQ-MODEL-11 registry a retired identifier goes into, and `npm test`
+refuses a removal that is not recorded there.
