📖What it means
One level of the estate that only talks to the levels next to it — the store, the accessor, the app. Layering is what makes a change local: skip a layer and every future change has two places to go.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Boundary
A layer is a level; a boundary is the line between two of them.
Not: Shim
The shim is the code that enforces a layer; the layer is the idea.
