The core mechanism described is **Object-Centric Editing**, a domain-specific paradigm within data visualization tooling that shifts interaction context from global side panels to localized visual boundaries. This theory establishes a formal rule where the **Edit Context** (Data and Format) becomes dynamically bound to the selected object, altering the available field hierarchy based on specific visualization types. The principle relies on **Contextual Binding**, defining how user interface state is determined by selection events rather than static UI layouts, with boundary conditions including potential loss of context during mode switching that requires a system reset or explicit collapse commands.
