An ordered set reached by position. Also a display arranged for viewing — both are things laid out in order.

Configuration shortened to its working name — the declared choices a system reads before it acts. A config is a promise about behavior, written down where hands can find it.

A second thing identical to the first. Also written text prepared for publishing — both are reproductions of something.

The shape a thing holds, and the mould that holds it. Both the outline seen and the instrument that makes the outline.

A declared list of what is included. A manifest is a claim about contents, checkable against them.

A statement of exactly what a thing must be. A specification is a contract before it is a plan.
