The substrate law
No finite list can contain every vehicle. RTracer therefore stores stable, orthogonal facts and derives named types as versioned recipes. A fan-propelled bicycle, an air-propeller boat, a submerged-propeller boat, a transforming drone-car, or a future machine can be described without adding a new core table or corrupting an old category.

The 471 seed recipes are intentionally broad; the generative model is intentionally broader than every finite catalog.
