Overview

Notation	Conceptual AST	Paper Output
$kₘ=iₚ‽ᵟ$	`SectionBreak {
unit: Lᵥ, n: iₚ, cert: γ }`	`§iₚ`

kₘ = any valid metadata key (listed below).
Lᵥ = validated level code (subdivision).
iₚ = free text identifier of the subdivision.
‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
