type.rule_outside_object

Rule is written outside an object type.

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

Only an Object, Input or Output names rules across its fields: a refinement's rules are its constraints, and an entity's records are made by writes, which have their own conditions (area 6):

example
type Nights = Int {    min: 1    rule short_stay: Nights <= 14}
