How it works
# The product layer between thesis and schemasThis section explains PARA as a working civic app. It sits between the thesis pages and the schema reference because most readers need route behavior, state ownership, and maturity before they need lexicon detail.
Communities Community profiles, governance overlays, and base-style navigation hubs. RAQ Assessment, results, proposals, and open-question flows. Cabildeo Proposal, position, delegation, and phase-based civic deliberation. Representatives Political actors, comparison, and profile-adjacent public participation context. Highlights A public/private political reading layer separate from bookmarks. Map and discovery Search, map, compass, and comparative reading routes. Messages and agents Inbox routes plus earlier agent-chat surfaces.
