Glosses

Interpretive definitions that frame concepts through a broader lens.

• [[Atomic Node]] -- A single markdown file resolving to a wikilink target
• [[Compound Node]] -- A folder with a designated lead where the concept has supporting material; the folder resolves to the lead, and sub-files serve that one concept
• [[Contested Observation]] -- An Observation whose grounds name the sides of a live dispute and why the dispute is load-bearing
• [[Convention Overhead vs Graph Quality]] -- The ongoing trade-off between the cost each convention imposes on contribution and the quality that convention enables
• [[Crescent]] -- The non-overlap arc in a Venn-style predicate adjacency
• [[Deep Context Architecture]] -- The architecture for captured reasoning as typed markdown nodes connected by named edges
• [[Deep Context Community]] -- The collective of contributors to the Deep Context practice and graph
• [[Empirical Observation]] -- An Observation whose grounds name a specific measurement experiment or direct observation
• [[External Node]] -- A node that lives in another graph, referenced without being imported
• [[Firm Commitment]] -- A Decision commitment level marking the choice as decided and expensive to reverse
• [[Form Contract]] -- A specification a node conforms to
• [[Ghost Link]] -- A wikilink to a target that does not yet exist
• [[Graft]] -- A node copied from a donor graph into a recipient graph
• [[Growth Stage]] -- The lifecycle stage of a node whose shape is being actively tested and elaborated through use
• [[Markdown Node]] -- A markdown file read as a graph node
• [[Mature Stage]] -- The lifecycle stage of a node whose shape has settled through repeated use
• [[Minimum Viable Architecture]] -- The simplest architectural substrate sufficient to function and reveal what to add next
• [[Named Edge]] -- A predicate-annotated wikilink expressing a typed relation
• [[On-Faith Observation]] -- An Observation whose grounds name an adopted source accepted provisionally without independent verification
• [[Provisional Commitment]] -- A Decision commitment level marking the choice as decided but explicitly revisitable
• [[Retrospective Observation]] -- An Observation whose grounds name a record or reconstruction rather than a direct measurement
• [[Scion Address]] -- The compound DID form identifying a specific node within a specific graph
• [[Seed Stage]] -- The lifecycle stage of a newly authored node whose shape has not yet been tested against other nodes
• [[Synpraxis Spectrum]] -- Coined term for the full spectrum of acting together
• [[Working Draft]] -- The curation state of a node whose content is authored but not yet curated for cross-graph consistency
