Error E0641 fires when you attempt to create a <code>dyn Trait</code> reference from a trait that contains an associated type, because trait objects alone cannot resolve what concrete type should occupy the associated type&rsquo;s slot. This article explains the root cause, demonstrates concrete fixes, and shows how to verify the resolution.</p>
