The composed spec#

What the surface, generators and loads make together:

import mathspec as ms

spec = ms.merge(['surface.yaml', 'generator.yaml', 'load.yaml'])

The file below is spec, the spec merge returns, written as YAML with every default spelled out. No fragment holds it, and nothing in the repository commits it. Port_p is one declaration here. Each component fragment read it under given:, and merging folded those readings into the surface's own declaration.

The objective is the generator's, carried as it was written, since no other fragment prices anything. A second priced fragment would add its term to this one, each term in parentheses.

The math under the file has a tab per formulation. As composed is the spec above. With commitment lays variants/commitment.yaml over it with override, which makes the generator a committed unit:

committed = ms.override(spec, ['variants/commitment.yaml'])

A patch is refused on its own, since it edits declarations it does not declare. So the spec it lands on is the only place its math exists, and the tab prints the patch beside that math.
