Field station charter scope and limits
About anarchy.fish
A static metric glossary, schema explorer, privacy-boundary reference, and local example-record inspector.
The job
Make the record legible.
Metric names are cheap; definitions are the useful part. This field station keeps the layer, unit, privacy class, allowed fields, source, update date, and measurement availability together so a number cannot outrun its meaning.
Instrument scope
What this surface does
- Metric glossary
- Five bounded definitions, including one hard prohibited field.
- Schema explorer
- Nine accepted keys with exact types, meanings, and rejection rules.
- Example inspector
- Local JSON explanation for fictional bundled examples only.
- Live status
- Unknown or Unavailable, dated 2026-07-18; no measured values are published.
Technical boundary
Static, local, and quiet.
There is no account, analytics collector, CMS, request-time AI, remote inspector, or browser storage. The complete glossary and examples remain readable without JavaScript; filtering and explanation are local enhancements.
Language rule
The metaphor stops before people.
Aquatic language belongs to the furniture: current, depth, glass, and bulkhead. People are never specimens, dots, fish, or coordinates. Unknown is a data state, not an invitation to improvise a value.
