section
a self-contained part of a larger composition (written or musical)
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the section as a part of a composition, relay the written and musical senses and related terms from lexicographic sources, describe the named terms, and distinguish this sense from a cross-section drawing, an organisational section, a legal section and a geometric section.
In the WordNet sense, a section is a self-contained part of a larger written or musical composition, such as a section of a document, a movement of music or a canto of a poem, with related terms the registry aliases name such as canto, subdivision, and rhetorical terms like anticlimax and bathos, and a sports section of a newspaper; this compositional sense differs from a section as a cut-through view in drawing, a military or organisational section and a legal section of a statute. Sections structure works to aid navigation and understanding.
What it is for: A self-contained part of a composition.
