terminology

This is super high level terminology for orbit.

For communication, a chat is the highest level object. They will contain information about the user permissions and link to the individual messages.

A message is a simple record in a chat containing a timestamp, body, and author.

Finally, users and accounts. users contain mostly information for connecting to other users and chats. Whereas accounts are more for settings and external links like emails.
