Cognitive data structures form the raw hierarchy that SROW renders.
Concepts
The SROW Presentation Layer applies structured reading and organized writing principles to make complex conceptual fields navigable.
It governs the outward expression and legibility of meaning. It uses progressive disclosure so the reader controls the depth of engagement.
Without this layer, structured meaning is buried under dense prose, causing cognitive overload and reducing the retrievability of concepts.
SROW is not post-production polish or formatting. It is an active protocol that shapes content structure for readability.
Within the Mandala Protocol, it serves as the expression layer, translating abstract structures into clear, progressive documents.
These are the structural problems that appear when the concept is ignored, collapsed, hidden, or misapplied.
Minimal links that deepen the distinction without turning this page into a dense graph.
Every SROW presentation must disclose structural relations progressively, keeping hierarchy visible.
