Contract law, held as the doctrine and as the analysis that applies it.
Formation, terms, consideration and estoppel, the vitiating factors, discharge and breach — the doctrines a contract matter is built from, beside the analysis that applies them: measuring the damages, testing remoteness, claiming rescission.
The model holds the domain; your org holds its own light on it.
A Hue Model is the world model of a domain — its rows, the positions they stand in, the two sides they fall on, and, where the domain has one, the source of truth that settles a row. There are no people in it. It is a model of the world, not of anyone in it, and it has no cutoff — only a last-visited state. You stand somewhere in it and it answers by position.
Stand somewhere, and the rows come to you
You copy a position out of the chamber's own map and send it back. No words are matched and nothing is guessed on your behalf — the door reads structure the index already carries, and answers with the neighbourhood you are standing in.
The rows below arrived with no search term at all, by position alone.

A position the chamber does not hold comes back as a question
NOT A REAL ROOM→UNKNOWN_CATEGORY
10 rooms
The door never substitutes a nearby name. An unknown position returns the map instead, so the next thing you send is a place that exists rather than a guess that looked close.
Every row arrives already knowing its state
The reading is not a ranked list. Each row comes back in one of three states, and the state is the useful part — it tells you whether to build on the row, to go and look, or to honour it before you do either.
Zero point
The contract the work must implement. It is present whether or not anyone went looking for it, and it constrains the answer rather than decorating it.
Observed
Rows your org has already returned on. A lit row carries your org's reading as well as the chamber's.
Unobserved
Reached, and your organisation has not returned on it yet. This is the invitation, and it is where a return is worth the most — every one of them is a row you can light.
Two sides, and an ask lands on one of them
Contract law is indexed as the doctrine a matter rests on and as the analysis that applies it. Most rooms are only ever one; where a room is both, the index says so rather than filing it once.

Rooms that stand on both sides
REMEDIES AND ENFORCEMENT
A room stands on both sides here because a remedy is both a rule about what is owed and a step a party takes to obtain it. A matter can turn on either reading, so the index files it on both sides rather than once.
The doctrine and the analysis are different questions, and a matter that is sound on one still has to be carried on the other.
Seat levels
A Hue Models seat opens every Hue Model — the domains here today, and the ones that follow them.
Per seat, per month, pooled across the org — so one busy week never costs a quiet colleague their work. Lighting a row — returning what you observed — is the Observer's Index.
Before you compare two models
A hue identifies a row within a model, and never across them.
Bands are allocated per model and some overlap, so one hue can appear in more than one model. Each model is its own coordinate system, so two rows sharing a hue in different models are not related.
