type.rule_name_taken

Rule is named like a field, another rule or invalid.

Area 2, Values and types; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

A rule's name is what an attempt's arm and a failure's report call it, so no field or other rule of the type shares it, and it is never invalid:

example
type Moment = Instant {}type Booking = Object {    starts: Moment    ends: Moment    rule ends: ends > starts}
text
error: A rule can't be called `ends` here --> main.jadpo:6:10  |6 |     rule ends: ends > starts  |          ^^^^ name taken  reason: `Booking` has a field `ends`; a rule's name is its own, so `ends:` in an `attempt` or a report can only mean one thing.  next: Give the rule a name of its own that says what it checks (agent)  rule: type.rule_name_taken  help: https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/type.rule_name_takencheck failed: 1 error, 1 file
