03-mental-model says specs are 'each able to order its work under ## Steps', a step being one landable piece. The glossary's spec entry defines a spec as 'broken into ordered tasks with acceptance criteria' and decomposed into numbered tasks. The canonical definition and the mental model give two names, step and task, for the one ordered unit below a spec.
