The twelve sections

Every documentation here follows the same arc42 structure, which means the corpus can be read across as well as down. Pick a section and see how each system handled it: what a building block view looks like when the system is small, and what it looks like when it is a federation.

The template itself, and what belongs in each section, is at docs.arc42.org.
