Direct answer
Section Locator, in this definition, is limited to the following inspected scope. Fragment, text-quote, and text-position selectors for passage location. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Term boundaries and disambiguation
Use the term only for the source-backed scope stated here; keep adjacent concepts separate unless a typed relationship is explicit.
A useful definition states both inclusion and exclusion conditions so a machine answer cannot silently widen it.
Applied scope: Fragment, text-quote, and text-position selectors for passage location.
