Fan/chasm traps

Could somebody remind me what these are? I vaguely remember and that they need to be resolved by contexts or aliases but can’t remember their definition…

Thanks

There are a number of Designer presentations on the Integra site. Many of them discuss fan traps, chasm traps, or both:

Simply put, a fan trap is a one -< many -< many relationship, and a chasm trap is a many >- one -< many relationship.
