# Worked example: gender as reified, self-asserted, co-equal facets ( P9/P10).
# Each axis is a reified gmeow:IdentityFacet (the NameUsage relator idiom), never a
# flat enum column. Four tenets are visible here:
#   • SELF-ASSERTION is the top authority — a self-asserted facet (selfAsserted
#     true) outranks an external registry record (selfAsserted false), which is
#     SUPPRESSED, never deleted (gmeow:displayable false, P10): kept for provenance,
#     never leaked or displayed.
#   • CO-EQUALITY — gender identity and gender expression are separate facets with
#     no primary/preferred slot; expression is never inferred from identity.
#   • SEX ≠ GENDER — gmeow:sexAssignedAtBirth is a RECORDED administrative datum,
#     not an IdentityFacet, and implies nothing about identity or expression.
#   • OPEN VOCABULARY — values are individuals (gmeow:genderNonBinary, …), never
#     Person subclasses and never a forced enum.
