📖What it means

The role a person holds in a conversation with Carol: as a user, as an employee, or as admin. The external default is user; employee comes only from a recorded hat switch; admin comes from the registry access record. Topics remember the capacity they were opened under, so Carol can read a person's topics in the current capacity and their topics in other capacities separately — the same human, in different capacities, is having different conversations.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Hat", "distinction": "The hat (user/employee) is the 4278 mechanism this extends; capacity adds admin and names the concept for conversation records."}, {"term": "Tier", "distinction": "A tier is an ACCESS boundary (what a visitor may do); capacity is which role the conversation itself is held in."}]
