Each relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
A mechanism is assembled from elementary or explicitly coarse-grained steps connected by intermediates.
The source is a material constituent, structural component, or underlying quantum field whose excitation realizes the target physical system or particle. The edge label and detail must distinguish composition from field excitation; neither implies a simple classical sum of parts.
