It prevents terminology drift as the life discriminator, attribution architecture, and diagnostic procedure move into support documents, edge-case audits, and later applications. This document does not introduce new concepts, replace the canonical papers, or re-argue the sequence. It gives a controlled definition, canonical home, relationship note, and guardrail for each major term. • Paper 1 owns physical grounding, TC/NTC distinction, comparator discipline, IPL, DTS, the life discriminator, and the physics-chemistry-life transition framing. • Paper 2 owns the attribution layer: candidate frame, informational regime, maintained boundary, Attribution Locus, DTS completion, continuity, ladder, closure/death, positive exclusion, residual deferral, and topology. • Paper 3 owns the diagnostic sequence, classification output form, closure output form, audit template, exemplar desktop studies, residual inventory, update statements, and guardrails. • A term is permitted only when its discriminator conditions remain visible. • Primary classes, continuity statuses, topology modifiers, closure output, and residual must not be collapsed into one another. • Residual terms hold unresolved attribution remainder; they are not explanations or verdicts. 0.1 Source-lock register TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t02 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t02-r01 Seq.: Paper 1 Latest source file: GOT-V1-1-1 - On the Origin of Life - Issue 1.docx | sha16 b46a62c660223454 Canonical paper: On the Origin of Life Canonical ownership / use: Physical grounding; pancomputation discipline; Trivial Computation; Non-Trivial Computation; Nested Multiscale Framework; evaluation conditions; readout and temporal framing; Baseline Dynamics; Information Processing Locus; Driven Thermodynamic System; life as driven thermodynamic constraint-maintenance supported by IPL-mediated NTC; physics-chemistry-life transition.

Physical grounding, computation, and life threshold TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r01 Term: Pancomputation Controlled definition: View that lawful physical processes can be computationally described under some encoding. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Context Relationship and guardrail: Useful as background only; unrestricted redescription cannot define life. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r02 Term: Trivial Computation (TC) Controlled definition: Lawful physical state evolution redescribable computationally under a chosen encoding. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Computation Relationship and guardrail: Description is not discrimination. TC cannot define life. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r03 Term: Non-Trivial Computation (NTC) Controlled definition: Organisation-dependent, counterfactually testable downstream outcome dependence on discriminable distinctions under specified reference conditions and comparator discipline. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Computation Relationship and guardrail: No NTC without discriminable distinction, downstream dependence, organisation mediation, and BD pressure. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r04 Term: Reference conditions Controlled definition: Boundary, scale, operational horizon, discrimination/noise regime, comparator assumptions, driving, and component inventory under which a claim is evaluated. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Evaluation Relationship and guardrail: Reference conditions make claims testable; they do not make claims true. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r05 Term: Readout Controlled definition: Bounded registration of an outcome, trajectory class, trace, measurement, simulation result, or model comparison under finite conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Evaluation Relationship and guardrail: Objectivity is indexed to stable readout pathways, error control, comparator discipline, and reproducibility. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r06 Term: Kinematic Microstate Baseline (KMB) Controlled definition: Universe-level space of all kinematically admissible microstates. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: Physical possibility is not yet organisation-dependent distinction. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r07 Term: Boundary Condition (BC) Controlled definition: Constraint imposed by system/environment delimitation and permitted exchanges. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: BC enables system description; it is scale-dependent. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r08 Term: Thermodynamic State Space (TSS) Controlled definition: Coarse-grained thermodynamic macrostate description stable under boundary conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: TSS is regime description, not replacement of microphysical admissibility. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r09 Term: Thermodynamic information Controlled definition: Regime in which informational distinctions are tied to physical costs of stability, manipulation, erasure, dissipation, and work coupling. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: Distinctions are physically embodied, not immaterial labels. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r10 Term: Emergent Boundary Condition (EBC) Controlled definition: Organisation-generated constraint functioning effectively as a boundary condition for lower-level components. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: EBC is generated by organisation; it is not a new substance. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r11 Term: Constrained Thermodynamic State Space (CTSS) Controlled definition: Subset of thermodynamic macrostates and trajectories accessible under emergent boundary conditions and organisational constraints. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: CTSS names state-space restriction, not visual complexity. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r12 Term: Constrained Thermodynamic System (CTS) Controlled definition: BC-defined system whose realised trajectory occupies CTSS because of EBC or organisational constraints. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: CTS is the system instance; CTSS is the regime descriptor. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r13 Term: Driven Thermodynamic State Space (DTSS) Controlled definition: Thermodynamic regime in which a system is maintained away from equilibrium by sustained energy and/or matter throughput. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: DTSS requires driving, not transient constraint alone. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r14 Term: Driven Thermodynamic System (DTS) Controlled definition: BC-defined system whose trajectory is embedded in DTSS and maintained away from equilibrium by sustained driving. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding / Life Relationship and guardrail: DTS is horizon-relative; sustained throughput must be specified. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r15 Term: Shannon Information Theory (SIT) Controlled definition: Regime in which information is discriminable distinctions over a channel relative to alphabet, noise model, and receiver/locus discrimination capacity.

RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r16 Term: Reference alphabet Controlled definition: Set of symbol classes induced by physically supported tokenisation at the reference scale. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: Alphabet is supported only where classes are stable and reproducible. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r17 Term: Tokenisation Controlled definition: Physically implementable classification rule assigning admissible states or histories to labels under boundary, constraint, driving, and noise conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: Technical tokenisation is not arbitrary external coding. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r18 Term: Baseline Dynamics (BD) Controlled definition: Intervention-defined comparator family preserving relevant context while disabling the organisation, channel, tokenisation, or pathway under test. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Comparator Relationship and guardrail: BD is not nothing; it is disciplined contrast. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r19 Term: BD-family comparator Controlled definition: Comparator intervention that ablates, scrambles, neutralises, resets, bypass-controls, or otherwise disables the proposed mediating organisation while preserving comparability. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Comparator Relationship and guardrail: Weak comparators let false NTC and life claims survive. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r20 Term: Information Processing Locus (IPL) Controlled definition: Organisation whose integrity is required for downstream trajectory selection to depend on the relevant distinction. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Localisation Relationship and guardrail: IPL is not consciousness, cognition, central control, symbolic representation, or the Attribution Locus by default. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r21 Term: Life Controlled definition: Driven thermodynamic constraint-maintenance supported by IPL-mediated NTC. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Life threshold Relationship and guardrail: Life is stricter than information, NTC, metabolism, reproduction, feedback, persistence, adaptation, or familiarity alone. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r22 Term: Living System Controlled definition: System satisfying the life discriminator over the relevant operational horizon. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Life Relationship and guardrail: Do not infer life from complexity, activity, or lineage alone. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t05-r23 Term: Physics-chemistry-life transition Controlled definition: Emergent-regime transition in which chemical organisation becomes audit-incomplete without the discriminator question of distinction-conditioned maintenance. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Origin framing Relationship and guardrail: Life does not leave physics or chemistry; chemistry alone does not settle life-status. B. Attribution architecture, boundary, locus, and completion TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r01 Term: Candidate frame Controlled definition: Provisional reference-indexed delimitation of the system, subsystem, process, relation, remnant, or coupled organisation proposed as the site of attribution. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Attribution Relationship and guardrail: The frame states what is being tested; it does not establish the living locus. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r02 Term: Frame correction Controlled definition: Adjustment of the candidate frame when the initial delimitation fails to match the maintained regime, completion relation, or continuity path. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Attribution Relationship and guardrail: Frame correction is part of attribution, not a procedural defect. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r03 Term: Reference-indexed attribution Controlled definition: Attribution specifying locus, boundary, interface, scale, horizon, driving, comparator assumptions, and continuity relation strongly enough for the claim. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Attribution Relationship and guardrail: The disciplined question is alive as what locus, over what horizon, through what boundary. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r04 Term: Positive exclusion Controlled definition: Output stating that a tested relation is not warranted under the stated reference conditions, rather than merely being unknown. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 / 3 | Attribution output Relationship and guardrail: Do not use uncertainty as negative confirmation; distinguish exclusion from residual. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r05 Term: Informational regime Controlled definition: Physically supported organisation in which identity-relevant distinctions are preserved, made operative, resumed, transmitted, completed, or closed under reference conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Attribution Relationship and guardrail: Not every describable difference is an informational regime. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r06 Term: Informational regime attribution Controlled definition: Evaluation of the identity-bearing distinctions a candidate preserves and the regime in which those distinctions become operative, resumable, completable, or closed. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Attribution Relationship and guardrail: Observer-assigned meaning is not enough. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r07 Term: Life-realisation Controlled definition: Actual occurrence of the Paper 1 life relation within a candidate frame as driven constraint-bearing organisation maintained, redirected, or completed through localisable distinction-conditioned organisation. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Threshold attribution Relationship and guardrail: Life-realisation in a frame does not prove the frame itself is the living locus. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r08 Term: Realised informational throughput Controlled definition: Identity-relevant distinctions presently operative in maintenance, redirection, or completion of a life-realising regime. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Throughput Relationship and guardrail: Stored content alone is not realised throughput. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r09 Term: Maintained boundary Controlled definition: Interface through which a life-realising or life-relevant informational regime preserves its organised distinction from what lies outside it. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Boundary Relationship and guardrail: Boundary is functional and informational, not merely a line around matter. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r10 Term: Attribution Locus Controlled definition: Operational unit to which a life-relevant regime relation is attributed: active life-realisation, intrinsic resumability, potential throughput, target-locus closure, reconstruction, incorporation, positive exclusion, or residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Locus Relationship and guardrail: The Attribution Locus is the bearer of attribution; it is not automatically the IPL, visible object, container, genome, or lineage. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r11 Term: Functional sublocus Controlled definition: Component whose organisation contributes to a larger life-realising regime without thereby becoming a life form at the claimed scale. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Locus Relationship and guardrail: Functional necessity is not life-status. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r12 Term: Nested locus Controlled definition: Lower-order locus existing within or participating in a higher-order locus while retaining its own attribution relation. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Locus / topology Relationship and guardrail: Nested attribution does not imply contradiction. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r13 Term: Distributed locus Controlled definition: Locus whose maintained regime depends on spatially extended coupling, scaffolding, or recurrent exchange. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Locus Relationship and guardrail: Distribution raises the burden to specify boundary, completion, and continuity. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r14 Term: DTS completion Controlled definition: Localisation of where the driven thermodynamic system is actually performed, intrinsically resumable, or extrinsically completable as a life-relevant regime. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Completion Relationship and guardrail: The question is where life-realising informational throughput becomes actual. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r15 Term: Resource dependence Controlled definition: Dependence on environmental matter, energy, substrate, or permissive conditions while the candidate organisation performs constitutive maintenance operations. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Completion Relationship and guardrail: Resource dependence does not weaken life-status by itself. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r16 Term: Scaffolded support Controlled definition: External support supplying stabilising conditions while the candidate remains the locus whose identity-bearing organisation is maintained. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Completion Relationship and guardrail: Artificial support alone does not decide life-status. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r17 Term: Constitutive dependence Controlled definition: Dependence in which another organised locus performs operations required to complete the candidate maintenance or throughput relation. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Completion Relationship and guardrail: Constitutive dependence changes attribution; it is not an automatic verdict. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r18 Term: Host completion Controlled definition: Extrinsic completion relation in which a host regime makes a candidate throughput operative. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Completion / potential Relationship and guardrail: Host completion is not free-phase Life. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r19 Term: Coupled completion Controlled definition: Case where no component alone completes the relevant regime but the organised relation between components does. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Completion Relationship and guardrail: Coupling does not automatically establish unity. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t06-r20 Term: Higher-order locus Controlled definition: Coupled organisation that stabilises a maintained regime beyond its participating loci. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Topology Relationship and guardrail: Requires more than interaction or dependence. C. Identity, continuity, primary ladder, and death/closure TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r01 Term: Organisational identity Controlled definition: Continuity of the maintained organisation by which the same locus remains attributable through change, development, dormancy, repair, transformation, or terminal completion. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity Relationship and guardrail: Identity is not mere material sameness or name persistence. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r02 Term: Intrinsic resumability Controlled definition: Same-locus capacity by which active life-realisation can resume from a continuity-preserving suspended or dormant condition under permissive conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity Relationship and guardrail: Intrinsic resumption is not extrinsic reconstruction. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r03 Term: Continuity-preserving suspension Controlled definition: Mode in which active throughput is reduced or suspended while identity-bearing organisation and intrinsic resumability remain preserved. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity Relationship and guardrail: Suspension does not by itself imply Life-in-Potential or death. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r04 Term: Dormant Life Controlled definition: Continuity mode inside Life where active throughput is reduced or suspended but intrinsic same-locus resumability remains preserved. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity / class mode Relationship and guardrail: Dormancy is not Life-in-Potential and not death. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r05 Term: Terminal active Life Controlled definition: Continuity mode inside Life where distinction-conditioned organisation is still completing a terminal regime even though future branch-space is narrowing. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity / class mode Relationship and guardrail: Terminality modifies horizon; it does not remove Life before branch closure. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r06 Term: Potential informational throughput Controlled definition: Identity-bearing potential throughput preserved by a non-life-realised organisation into an admissible extrinsic life-realising completion pathway. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Potential Relationship and guardrail: Not weak life, mere biological material, stored sequence, trigger, or reconstructability. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r07 Term: Throughput identity Controlled definition: Continuity of identity-relevant distinctions from a non-life-realised candidate into later extrinsic completion where those distinctions become operative. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Potential Relationship and guardrail: Without throughput identity, Life-in-Potential is not warranted. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r08 Term: Lineage identity Controlled definition: Continuity relation of descent, copying, or historical derivation after organisational or throughput identity has been established. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity Relationship and guardrail: Lineage does not settle present life-status. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r09 Term: Continuity status Controlled definition: Status of a target locus or throughput relation as active, dormant, terminal active, potential, or closed; uncertain statuses are carried in residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 / 3 | Classification Relationship and guardrail: Continuity status must be assigned before primary class closure. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r10 Term: Branch-closure Controlled definition: Closure of all future counterfactual branch-realisation for a target locus as that locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Death / closure Relationship and guardrail: Branch closure applies to the target identity, not every constituent. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r11 Term: Death / closed continuity Controlled definition: Closure status of a formerly living target locus whose future counterfactual branch-realisation as that locus has closed. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity status Relationship and guardrail: Death is not a fourth primary class. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r12 Term: Closure output Controlled definition: Separate output route for death of a formerly living target locus: closed continuity / formerly living target locus / no further same-locus DTS completion / remnant or fragmentation topology / residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Output form Relationship and guardrail: Closure output prevents death from entering the primary-class field. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r13 Term: Post-death constituent reframing Controlled definition: Requirement to reframe remaining constituents after target-locus death rather than spreading the same status to all matter inside the former system. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Death / attribution Relationship and guardrail: A dead organism may contain living subloci, Life-in-Potential candidates, or Complex Chemistry. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r14 Term: Reconstruction Controlled definition: Cross-locus descriptor for later life-like or life-realising production after identity-bearing continuity has failed. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity descriptor Relationship and guardrail: Reconstruction is not same-locus resumption. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r15 Term: Incorporation Controlled definition: Cross-locus descriptor for material entering another living regime without preserving the prior identity. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Continuity descriptor Relationship and guardrail: Incorporation is not survival. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r16 Term: Complex Chemistry Controlled definition: Primary class where the candidate may be complex, organised, reactive, or biologically related but lacks active life-realisation, intrinsic resumability, and identity-bearing potential throughput. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Primary class Relationship and guardrail: Biological derivation alone does not exceed Complex Chemistry. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r17 Term: Life-in-Potential Controlled definition: Primary class for non-life-realised candidates preserving identity-bearing potential informational throughput into admissible extrinsic life-realising completion. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Primary class Relationship and guardrail: Life-in-Potential is narrow; it is not ordinary potential life. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r18 Term: Life as primary class Controlled definition: Primary class where the candidate is the Attribution Locus of active or intrinsically resumable regime maintenance. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Primary class Relationship and guardrail: Class assignment requires correct locus and continuity attribution. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t07-r19 Term: Formal ladder Controlled definition: Three-class ladder: Complex Chemistry, Life-in-Potential, Life. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Classification Relationship and guardrail: Death, reconstruction, incorporation, topology, and uncertainty are not primary classes. D. Procedure, output form, residual, and audit terms TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r01 Term: Life Attribution Procedure Controlled definition: Diagnostic expression of the attribution canon, moving from frame to relation, locus, completion, continuity, class, topology, residual, and update. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure Relationship and guardrail: Procedure applies the canon; it does not add a new life theory. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r02 Term: Reference preflight Controlled definition: Stage 0 of the procedure: states candidate, scale, boundary, horizon, interface, driving, discrimination/noise regime, comparator assumptions, and continuity question. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Without preflight, classification drifts between scales and horizons. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r03 Term: Candidate framing Controlled definition: Stage 1 of the procedure: states what is being tested and permits later frame correction. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: The frame is not the answer. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r04 Term: Life-realisation threshold Controlled definition: Stage 2 of the procedure: tests driven constraint-bearing regime, operative distinction, and maintenance relevance. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Failure of present life-realisation does not end the audit. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r05 Term: Attribution Locus localisation Controlled definition: Stage 3 of the procedure: identifies the bearer of the regime relation under evaluation. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Life inside a frame is not Life of the frame. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r06 Term: DTS-completion localisation Controlled definition: Stage 4 of the procedure: identifies where the life-realising, resumable, or potential completion relation is performed. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Dependence is too coarse; completion must be localised. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r07 Term: Identity and continuity determination Controlled definition: Stage 5 of the procedure: determines whether identity-bearing throughput is active, dormant, terminal active, potential, closed, or uncertain with residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Dormancy, potential, closure, reconstruction, and incorporation must not be collapsed. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r08 Term: Primary class assignment Controlled definition: Stage 6 output where Complex Chemistry, Life-in-Potential, or Life is assigned after preceding burdens are met. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Death, topology, and uncertainty must not enter the primary ladder. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r09 Term: Primary-class deferral Controlled definition: Audit result where primary-class assignment would overstate support and the class field is withheld with residual and update condition. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Output form Relationship and guardrail: Deferral is not a fourth ladder value. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r10 Term: Topology and relationship assignment Controlled definition: Stage 7 output describing relations among already-attributed loci. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Procedure stage Relationship and guardrail: Topology follows attribution; it is not a verdict. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r11 Term: Standard attribution output Controlled definition: Output form: primary class or residual deferral / continuity status / attributed locus / DTS-completion relation / topology or relationship modifier / residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Output form Relationship and guardrail: Separate fields prevent a naked noun from replacing the attribution relation. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r12 Term: Residual Controlled definition: Disciplined remainder identifying the local missing discriminator condition and update condition. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Residual Relationship and guardrail: Residual is not a class, continuity status, topology modifier, explanation, or hidden verdict. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r13 Term: Residual inventory Controlled definition: List of residual types by missing discriminator condition: frame, reference condition, threshold, operative distinction, comparator, Attribution Locus, DTS completion, continuity, throughput identity, closure, topology, or constituent audit. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Residual Relationship and guardrail: Inventory prevents uncertainty from becoming a hidden class. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r14 Term: Update condition Controlled definition: Observation, intervention, comparator result, continuity demonstration, or completion-path demonstration that would change the attribution. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Residual Relationship and guardrail: Every residual requires an update condition. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r15 Term: Strength marker Controlled definition: Optional marker such as strong, provisional, weak, or primary-class deferral summarising support without replacing residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Output form Relationship and guardrail: Strength markers must not create false precision. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t08-r16 Term: Exemplar desktop study Controlled definition: Stylised application of the procedure to an edge-case candidate frame rather than a final empirical verdict for all instances of a named category. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Edge-case discipline Relationship and guardrail: Examples are conditional on reference frame, scale, horizon, and comparator assumptions. 4. Misuse compression TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r01 Misuse: Life = complexity / metabolism / reproduction / adaptation Why it fails: These may be cues or mechanisms but do not state the discriminator. Controlled correction: Require driven constraint-maintenance supported by IPL-mediated NTC. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r02 Misuse: Life inside frame = Life of frame Why it fails: A frame may contain a life-realising locus without being the locus. Controlled correction: Localise the Attribution Locus before primary class. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r03 Misuse: Dormant = Life-in-Potential Why it fails: Dormancy preserves intrinsic same-locus resumability. Controlled correction: Use Life with dormant continuity where intrinsic resumability remains open. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r04 Misuse: Death = fourth class Why it fails: Death closes a formerly living target locus; it does not classify all remnants. Controlled correction: Use closure output and reframe constituents. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r05 Misuse: Potential = any stored sequence or biological material Why it fails: Life-in-Potential requires throughput identity into admissible extrinsic completion. Controlled correction: Require identity-bearing potential informational throughput. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r06 Misuse: Uncertain = unresolved verdict Why it fails: Uncertainty is not a canonical field value except as a field condition carried in residual. Controlled correction: State the missing discriminator condition and update condition. RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t09-r07 Misuse: Positive exclusion = uncertainty Why it fails: A relation can be excluded under stated conditions without every broader question being solved. Controlled correction: Separate positive exclusion from residual deferral. 5. Change log TABLE got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t10 RECORD got-v1-part-1-support-glossary-t10-r01 Issue: Issue 1 Date: 2026-09-22 Change: Final Issue 1 source-lock release aligned to the fixed literal heading locators, the recorded final filenames and hashes for GOT-V1-1-1, GOT-V1-1-2, and GOT-V1-1-3, and final SD-01. Controlled definitions, terminology, and canonical ownership remain unchanged. Authority: Finalised source-locked Part 1 primary/support set, Issue 1. 6. Release/revision checklist • Does each term remain tied to a canonical home? • Does every compressed definition preserve the discriminator conditions? • Does the glossary distinguish IPL from Attribution Locus? • Does Life-in-Potential remain narrower than ordinary potential life? • Are death/closure, reconstruction, incorporation, topology, and uncertainty excluded from the primary ladder? • Are positive exclusion and residual deferral separated? • Does every residual term require a local missing condition and update condition? • Does the glossary avoid importing exported full-series TEM terms?
