Source basis

A medieval relationship-doctrine group for named interaction patterns such as transfer, collection, reflection, prohibition, refranation, and frustration.

Medieval relations are named patterns for how planetary testimony is transferred, gathered, gated, or redirected.

Medieval relations depend on aspects, reception, application, separation, and planetary condition.

Specific relation rows should own the rule boundaries.

The family includes transfer of light, collection of light, reflection, prohibition, refranation, and frustration, but those terms need separate predicate boundaries.

The local note places these terms in medieval and later traditional relationship doctrine, with modern sources used for terminology and organization.

The row avoids converting every named relation into a public rule in this seed batch.

The row does not publish exact event outcomes or final predicates for each medieval relation term.

The seed row is a conservative public summary of a larger relation vocabulary.

The seed row names the group while leaving each relation's exact predicate to narrower rules.

This row should group the family, not flatten the terms.

This row supports listing and detail-page copy for the medieval relation family and its place inside planetary interaction doctrine.
