The only connection between core classes and trait interfaces is at the proxy level. (That is, a trait is not specifically tied to a core class.) This means that the same trait can be applied to totally different objects. For this reason, the trait does not transparently expose the fields of its core object. When writing a rule using a trait interface, only the fields of the interface will be available, as usual. However, any field in the interface that corresponds to a core object field, will be mapped by the proxy class.
