Fact

A unit that holds factual data — a value, a constant, a value table — in its body, named by a title. It is the home for a reference table.

A fact is the unit for discrete, checkable data: a constant, a value, or a table of values. The title names it; the body — an addressable body — holds the data, typically a table (though prose or code work too). A reference table lives on a fact, not in a typed block. Facts render to their own pages and cross-link like every other unit. Reach for a fact when the content is something you could verify against the topic, rather than an idea (a concept) or a thing (an entity).
