If we take Combed Trace for Thread of Activity or some Adjoint Thread of Activity, strip other message content, and then trace all non-empty values we get Trace Contour:

Trace Analysis Patterns (Part 192)

Monday, July 20th, 2020

Traces and logs from diverse software systems doing different things may have similar Trace Shape despite completely different message content, especially for specific Threads of Activity or Adjoint Threads of Activity:

This may be apparent when we compare Trace Shape of Quotient Trace.

Trace Analysis Patterns (Part 168)

Sunday, April 7th, 2019

If we run software with its default configuration and no interaction (input data) we get its Minimal Trace:

Such traces may have their own Master Trace. Also, Minimal Trace is a specific Use Case Trail. Metaphorically, they can be considered as minimal surfaces.
