Entity

A unit for a noun in the topic's world — a person, an organisation, a tool, a type — the concrete things it names, usually with an attributes table in its body.

An entity is the unit for a noun: one of the concrete things the topic names — a person, an organisation, a tool, a file type, a command, a screen. If you can point at it and give it a name, it is probably an entity. Where a concept explains an idea, an entity describes the thing itself and its attributes — commonly as a small key/value table in its body. Like every unit it is a thin record (name, kind, summary) plus an addressable body projected onto its own page, with related links out to the concepts, facts and processes that explain or use it. Don't force structured things like CLI flags into entities — model those with a typed extension block.
