Cross-dive synthesis (research/260614-shard-spectrum-synthesis/) reading the two Nelson conceptual systems, four engines, and three modern tools across each other: a shard family matrix and eleven capability spectra (addressing, content identity, structure, history, native query, translation, attachment mode, operational envelope, access grant, write granularity, content types) — positions anchored at both ends by a real system, federation ops degrading by position. Through-lines: files-canonical/index-derived wins; fine-grained addressing is adoptable; transclusion=clone=embed is one primitive; structure/history federate iff in-text; attach mode is a per-binding choice; Notion proves the platform can enforce no-silent-mutation. Folded into SHARD-WP-0002: T11 reframed around the eleven spectra; T12 page model stretched four ways (prose + typed records + non-Markdown assets + query-defined); T13 adds Notion supplement; T14 rewritten as the three-mode attachment taxonomy (file-store / in-engine-host / external-API); T15 adds lossy-with-fidelity-report; new T16 (addressing, content identity, dimensional/query navigation). UC coverage UC-34-43 -> UC-34-59. Workplan now 16 tasks. No new UCs (synthesis only). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Exploration results for the problem and solution space.
Each exploration uses a yymmdd- prefix on the markdown file or subdirectory
when multiple files or sources are involved. Findings here inform spec/ and
SCOPE.md; they do not directly authorize implementation until promoted.
