Secondary to canonical papers. Exact paper and support file identities are recorded in the release manifest; scholarly scope limits remain explicit. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t01-r05 Control field: Supersedes Value: The preceding Issue 1 copy of this support document and its earlier pre-release inputs. Immediate release input: Part 2 - Glossary - Issue 1.docx | sha16 adf2bbe201c6f4e2. Earlier source files and release history are retained. This reissue aligns support to the minimally amended Papers 2, 4a and 4c; it makes no further paper edits. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t01-r06 Control field: Function Value: Records controlled vocabulary, canonical homes, relationship notes, and guardrails across Part 2a and Part 2b while preserving subpart-specific ownership and handoff boundaries. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t01-r07 Control field: Canonical rule Value: Canonical primary and extension papers govern technical definitions. Paper 1 owns the RRP architecture; Paper 1a signal; Paper 1b reference-indexed realism and closure; Paper 1c the relational index, embodiment, derived reachability, Relational Form, and propagation; Paper 2 knowledge; Paper 3 intelligence; Paper 4 observation; Paper 4a abstraction and perspective; Paper 4b scale and measurement; Paper 4c the observation-program operational envelope. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t01-r08 Control field: Internal split rule Value: Part 2a and Part 2b remain distinct canonical regions inside one Part-level support control. Part 2b inherits Part 2a architecture; downstream material does not retroactively redefine upstream canonical terms. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t01-r09 Control field: Source-lock rule Value: Use the ten Issue 1 paper identities in 0.1 and the directional support-control chain in 0.2. Part_2_Issue_1_Support_Manifest.json distinguishes recalculated SHA-256 digests from unchanged recorded locks carried forward without byte verification. Historical predecessor locks remain evidence only. Every later saved edit requires rehashing and downstream reconciliation. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t01-r10 Control field: Template rule Value: Retain the consolidated support schema, record IDs and GOT-SFMT-01 visual family. Preserve Paper 1c content and canonical definitions. This reconciliation updates release controls and the limited Paper 1c support alignment; it adds no external publication or independent technical definition. 0. Part-level consolidation and source discipline This clean Issue 1 support reissue reconciles Part 2a and Part 2b with the completed, limited Paper 1c integrations in Papers 2, 4a and 4c. The ten-paper sequence, canonical ownership and internal split are preserved. Source-lock verification and carried-forward limits are distinguished in 0.1. This support pass makes no further primary- or extension-paper edits. The Issue 1 canonical paper sequence is 1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b, 4c. Paper 1c - Relational Form is an attached extension of Paper 1, placed after 1b. The Part 2b sequence remains Knowledge (2), Intelligence (3), Observation (4), Limits (4a), Scale (4b), and Operational Envelope (4c). 0.1 Canonical source register - Issue 1 release lock TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t02 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t02-r01 Seq.: Part 2a / Paper 1 Released source / current and historical locks: GOT-V1-2a-1 - Relative Reference Points - Issue 1.docx Issue 1 SHA-256 (first 16): d786d0683fca89f8 Historical predecessor only: 1.

Source identity note: the current first-16 SHA-256 values for Paper 1c and all six Part 2b papers were recalculated from the available DOCX files, using the reissued Papers 2, 4a and 4c. Papers 1, 1a and 1b retain their recorded Issue 1 locks; their bytes and the earlier full manifests were not supplied for this reconciliation. Part_2_Issue_1_Support_Manifest.json records the verified full digests and marks those three retained locks without reconstructing missing digests. Historical predecessor locks and earlier change-log entries remain historical evidence. Paper 1c release alignment: the canonical Issue 1 manuscript contains 21 native endnotes, nine internal series references and six reused external works. Its direct conceptual sources are Papers 1, 1a and 1b; Part 2b references are downstream handoffs. The support stack preserves the manuscript's compositional scope and explicit evidence limits, including endnote 10 on the unsupported Plato attribution. Release identity does not establish that attribution, validate the illustrations empirically, or constitute a new external discovery audit. Bibliographic roles and limits are recorded in SD-04 as the downstream consolidation record, not as an upstream definition or hash dependency. 0.2 Part-level support-control chain TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t03 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t03-r01 Control ID: P2-SD01 Released control file / source lock: Part 2 - Concept Compression Map - Issue 1.docx Issue 1 SHA-256 (first 16): eee99287e2cfaa10 Historical predecessor only: Part 2 (2a-2b) - Informational Architecture and Knowledge Intelligence and Observation - Concept Compression Map - Issue 1.docx | sha16 55c6d7f2e885ce66 Permitted use: Part architecture compression, subdivision map, and source-discipline control. Secondary to canonical papers. Inherited Part 1 support controls remain limited to the uses already permitted by the source documents: NTC, BD, IPL, comparator/localisation discipline, and support-document template/control practice. Part 1 life-attribution classes are not imported into Part 2 statuses. Excluded source class: superseded Part 2 paper revisions; separate pre-release Part 2a/Part 2b support wording where it conflicts with current canonical papers or this consolidated control path; exported full-series TEM material; future Part 3 unknown-handling procedures except explicit handoff; prior generated answers; and unverified or unadmitted external material. Bibliographic apparatus does not create technical inheritance or move canonical ownership. 0.3 Internal subdivision map Part 2a - Informational Architecture: Papers 1, 1a, 1b, and 1c. Part 2b - Knowledge, Intelligence, and Observation: Papers 2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b, and 4c. The internal sections below retain the pre-release subpart support architecture under this single Part-level control. Part 2a - Informational Architecture Internal Part 2a support section. Papers 1, 1a, 1b, and 1c govern this region. Part 2b terms may appear only as downstream handoff unless the source text explicitly marks a broader bridge use. 1. Purpose and canonical use rules This Part 2 Glossary records controlled vocabulary for Part 2a: Informational Architecture (From Substrate to Phenomenology). It prevents terminology drift as the RRP architecture, signal pathway, and reference-indexed realism move into support documents, later Part 2b papers, edge-case analysis, and cross-Part 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 the access architecture: the scoped definition of information for a locus as RRP-indexed operational distinction, the Relational Access Principle, RRP, OP, OA, OR, RAS, RSD, local locus discipline, and branch-realisation framing. Paper 1a owns the physical pathway into the access architecture: interaction, physical and dissipative variation, persistence and propagation as physical properties, preserved and signal-bearing contrast, channel-relative discriminability, signal-path failure, thermodynamic and Shannon placement, and the Locus Event Horizon. Paper 1b owns the realism-facing consequence: unindexed realism instability, substrate difference before observation, access scaffold, broad observation as bounded registration, ontological target, finite model, residual, reference-indexed realism, and discipline of closure. A term is permitted only when its discriminator conditions remain visible. Paper 1c owns the physical account of relational index, embodiment, derived Relational Reachability, Relational Form, and relational propagation; it does not add RRP Set primitives. Sources: Paper 1c, headings 1-5 and 7.1. Part 2a terms should not be used to assign Part 2b knowledge, intelligence, or technical observation statuses. Paper 1b may use observation broadly as bounded registration, but that bridge use must not be substituted for the downstream Part 2b observation ladder. Support shorthand must not replace the canonical papers where a contested technical reading depends on exact wording. 2. Canonical ownership map TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t04 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t04-r01 Canonical home: Paper 1 - Relative Reference Points Controlled region: Informational architecture, Relational Access Principle, RRP as reference node, OP, OA, OR, RAS, RSD, branch-realisation, local locus discipline, and information for a locus as operational distinction. Guardrail: Do not treat physical difference, describability, external interpretation, or persistence as RRP-indexed information without availability for the evaluated locus; do not revoke other legitimate informational regimes. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t04-r02 Canonical home: Paper 1a - From Noise Cometh Signal Controlled region: Physical pathway of availability, interaction, physical and dissipative variation, persistence and propagation as physical properties, preserved contrast, signal-bearing contrast, channel-relative discriminability, medium, noise, signal path, thermodynamic and Shannon placement, and Locus Event Horizon. Guardrail: Do not treat every interaction as signal, every signal as RRP-indexed information for a locus, or physical persistence, propagation, or residue as an independent informational stage. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t04-r03 Canonical home: Paper 1b - Reference-Indexed Realism Controlled region: Realism-facing consequence, unindexed realism instability, substrate difference before observation, access scaffold, broad observation as bounded registration, ontological target, finite model, residual, reference-indexed realism, and closure discipline. Guardrail: Do not collapse reference-indexing into relativism, broad observation into unmediated certainty, or finite modelling into complete ontology. The target constrains; the model does not exhaust. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t04-r04 Canonical home: Paper 1c - Relational Form Controlled region: Relational index; target and locus as local physical cuts; coupling; embodiment of OA-keyed RAS; derived Relational Reachability; Relational Form and physically supported potential; relational propagation; relation before representation. RRP Set primitives remain owned by Paper 1. Guardrail: Keep the wider index, local target, primitive RAS, embodiment, derived reachability, distributed Form, finite model, and residual separate. No new RRP Set element or automatic downstream status. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t04-r05 Canonical home: SD-01 - Concept Compression Map Controlled region: Support-stack alignment and cross-indexing for the split Part 2a source set. Guardrail: Use only as compression and navigation. Technical definitions remain governed by the four Part 2a canonical papers; the full glossary also preserves the distinct Part 2b region. 3. Controlled vocabulary A. Access architecture and RRP Set TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r01 Term: Substrate difference Controlled definition: Reality-constrained physical difference that may exist before, without, or beyond availability to any finite locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 / Paper 1b | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: Substrate difference is real and may already stand in legitimate non-RRP informational relations; its operational availability for this locus is unestablished. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r02 Term: Physical difference Controlled definition: Variation in location, duration, energy, pressure, temperature, charge, concentration, molecular form, surface, velocity, orientation, frequency, density, boundary condition, state trajectory, or other physically admissible condition. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Grounding Relationship and guardrail: Physical difference does not establish RRP-indexed information for a locus merely by existing, persisting, or being describable. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r03 Term: Information Controlled definition: Within the RRP architecture, information for a locus is physical difference made relationally available as operational distinction under specified reference conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Core scoped definition Relationship and guardrail: This definition governs the evaluated access relation; it does not revoke thermodynamic, statistical, physical, Shannon, or other legitimate informational descriptions under their own conditions. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r04 Term: Informational distinction Controlled definition: A physical difference that can count as this rather than that for a locus under RRP-indexed conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Access status Relationship and guardrail: The same carrier may support different informational relations under different RRPs and other valid descriptive regimes. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r05 Term: Operational distinction Controlled definition: A distinction available, classable, registerable, retainable, or redeployable under conditions that make the distinction evaluable for a locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Architecture Relationship and guardrail: Operational does not mean useful by default; the relevant operation and locus must be specified. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r06 Term: Relational Access Principle Controlled definition: A finite locus does not possess reality as total state; it encounters reality only through relations by which difference becomes available, classed, registered, retained, and possibly redeployed. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Governing principle Relationship and guardrail: This is not a denial of reality or of informational relations beyond the evaluated locus. It denies unbounded possession of the real by a finite locus. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r07 Term: Relative Reference Point (RRP) Controlled definition: Situated reference node from which distinction evaluation becomes well-posed for a locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Reference node Relationship and guardrail: Relative does not mean subjective; reference does not mean arbitrary description. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r08 Term: Locus Controlled definition: The unit relative to which distinction is evaluated in the present relation. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Localisation Relationship and guardrail: Use locally. Do not silently transfer distinctions from one locus to another across a wider system or chain. Paper 1c treats target and locus as local physical cuts in the wider index; that does not abolish locality. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r09 Term: Interface Controlled definition: The boundary-mediated relation through which a locus can encounter difference. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Access condition Relationship and guardrail: An interface may be biological, technical, institutional, computational, or procedural; it must not be assumed absent. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r10 Term: Regime Controlled definition: Structured condition under which availability, discrimination, classing, registration, retention, and redeployment become possible. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Access condition Relationship and guardrail: Regime includes boundary, scale, horizon, noise tolerance, abstraction, comparator assumptions, and relevant branch-space. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r11 Term: Reference conditions Controlled definition: Specified boundary, interface, scale, operational horizon, discrimination/noise regime, abstraction, registration, retention, redeployment, and comparator assumptions under which a claim is evaluated. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 / Paper 1b | Evaluation Relationship and guardrail: Reference conditions make the claim evaluable; they do not make the claim true. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r12 Term: RRP Set Controlled definition: Operational element-set of informational architecture: RRP, OP, OA, OR, RAS, and RSD. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Architecture Relationship and guardrail: Do not collapse the elements into one undifferentiated information label. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r13 Term: Ontic Projection (OP) Controlled definition: Available contrast field at an interface under specified reference conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | RRP Set Relationship and guardrail: A persistent, propagating, or externally readable physical state is not automatically OP. OP begins where contrast is available to the specified locus. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r14 Term: Ontic Abstraction (OA) Controlled definition: Classing regime by which available contrast is partitioned into registerable alternatives. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | RRP Set Relationship and guardrail: Without OA, there is no classed alternative for registration. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r15 Term: Ontic Registration (OR) Controlled definition: Event by which one OP-supported, OA-classed alternative becomes selected into state. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | RRP Set Relationship and guardrail: OR is not mere perturbation, coupling, physical persistence, or external description. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r16 Term: Registered Abstraction State (RAS) Controlled definition: OA-keyed retained token-state produced by OR from an OP-supported contrast field at a specified RRP and persisting over an operational horizon at a reference scale. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | RRP Set Relationship and guardrail: RAS is not any persistent mark, residue, memory-like state, or archive. It requires classed registration and retention. Paper 1c calls earned OA-keyed physical retention embodiment; it adds no further RAS threshold. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r17 Term: Registered-State Deployment (RSD) Controlled definition: Redeployment of retained distinction into later transition, inference, action, control, correction, or branch-realisation. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | RRP Set Relationship and guardrail: A downstream effect is not RSD unless the retained distinction is actually operative in the later pathway. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r18 Term: Branch-realisation Controlled definition: The differential realisation of an alternative trajectory, outcome, registration, transition, action, or downstream state under an operative regime. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Architecture Relationship and guardrail: Branch-realisation does not require conscious choice. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t05-r19 Term: Local locus discipline Controlled definition: Rule that the evaluated locus must remain tied to the relation being assessed and cannot be moved silently between source, carrier, user, institution, or analyst. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 | Guardrail Relationship and guardrail: Essential for preventing external interpretation from replacing the system relation under evaluation. B. Signal and physical availability TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r01 Term: Interaction Controlled definition: Physical exchange, absorption, scattering, transformation, transmission, constraint, dissipation, redirection, storage, release, or redistribution of energy and matter. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Pre-signal ground Relationship and guardrail: Interaction produces variation; it is not automatically signal or RRP-indexed information for a locus. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r02 Term: Physical variation Controlled definition: Uneven physical result of interaction, such as gradients, residues, pressure differences, conformations, phase shifts, boundary marks, or altered trajectories. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Pre-signal ground Relationship and guardrail: Variation may support contrast but is not yet signal-bearing by default. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r03 Term: Dissipative variation Controlled definition: Variation produced as energy or matter spreads, degrades, redistributes, or transforms under physical constraints. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Physical pathway Relationship and guardrail: Dissipation makes variation; variation may support contrast; contrast may support signal. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r04 Term: Persistence Controlled definition: Continuation of a physical state or alteration over an interval. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Physical property Relationship and guardrail: Persistence is not a signal, OP, OR, RAS, record, knowledge, or observation status by itself. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r05 Term: Propagation Controlled definition: Movement or transmission of physical variation through a medium or across a pathway. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Physical property Relationship and guardrail: Propagation does not establish preserved contrast, channel discriminability, or availability for a locus. Distinguish this ordinary physical use from Paper 1c relational propagation, which requires sufficient target-relevant preservation through transformations. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r06 Term: Physical residue Controlled definition: Physical alteration remaining after an interaction, such as a mark, gradient, deformation, conformation, deposit, or boundary change. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Ordinary physical description Relationship and guardrail: Residue may later supply contrast to a signal path, but it is not an independent architectural stage or retained-record status. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r07 Term: Signal Controlled definition: Physical variation preserved as contrast through a medium under conditions in which discrimination may become possible. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Core definition Relationship and guardrail: Signal is not primitive RRP-indexed information, semantic message, or free-floating content. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r08 Term: Signal-bearing contrast Controlled definition: Preserved contrast carried through a signal path in a way that may become discriminable for a channel, receiver, or locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Signal layer Relationship and guardrail: It is weaker than RRP-indexed information for the evaluated locus because availability as distinction has not yet been shown. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r09 Term: Signal path Controlled definition: Physical pathway through which selected contrast is carried, transformed, filtered, amplified, attenuated, or stabilised. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Physical pathway Relationship and guardrail: A signal path does not carry the world whole; it carries selected contrast under constraints. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r10 Term: Medium Controlled definition: Material, energetic, field, channel, substrate, institutional, or technical pathway through which contrast may be preserved or transformed. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Physical pathway Relationship and guardrail: Medium constraints shape what contrast survives and what fails. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r11 Term: Channel-relative discriminability Controlled definition: Condition where contrast is discriminable relative to channel, alphabet, noise model, coding regime, and receiver or locus discrimination capacity. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Bridge to OP Relationship and guardrail: Channel-discriminable contrast may already have valid Shannon status, but it is not RRP-indexed information for the evaluated locus unless it becomes available as distinction. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r12 Term: Noise regime Controlled definition: Variation or uncertainty condition relative to which a contrast may be masked, preserved, degraded, or discriminable. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Channel condition Relationship and guardrail: Noise is regime-relative; what is noise under one regime may become signal under another. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r13 Term: Reference alphabet Controlled definition: Set of physically supported symbol or token classes under a channel-relative discrimination regime. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Shannon placement Relationship and guardrail: Alphabet requires stable classes; it is not arbitrary external labelling. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r14 Term: Shannon Information Theory (SIT) Controlled definition: Formal discipline of channel-relative uncertainty, coding, noise, symbols, bits, and transmission under specified source, channel, alphabet, and receiver or locus discrimination conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Formal placement Relationship and guardrail: SIT is valid within its specified regime but is not the complete theory of all information in this framework. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r15 Term: Available distinction Controlled definition: Contrast that has become available as an alternative for a locus under RRP conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1 / Paper 1a | Access status Relationship and guardrail: This is the entry point into OP, not a property carried absolutely by a physical state. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r16 Term: Locus Event Horizon Controlled definition: Ingress-boundary beyond which external difference cannot become signal-bearing contrast capable of entering OP for a locus under the present regime. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Access limit Relationship and guardrail: Not an edge of reality, not absolute unknowability, not a black-hole physics literalism, and not a performance measure. Relational Reachability concerns formation of a particular relation, not merely ingress of its carrier (Paper 1c, heading 2.4). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t06-r17 Term: Ingress-boundary Controlled definition: Boundary at which difference can or cannot enter the access pathway as signal-bearing contrast for a finite locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1a | Access limit Relationship and guardrail: What lies beyond may be real and consequential elsewhere or informational under another regime, but unavailable to this locus under the present regime. C. Reference-indexed realism and closure discipline TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r01 Term: Realism Controlled definition: Commitment that reality has authority independent of thought, perception, language, desire, convention, or agreement. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Realism frame Relationship and guardrail: Realism requires distinction between real and not-real but must index the respect in which the claim is made. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r02 Term: Unindexed realism Controlled definition: Realism claim that asks whether something is real without specifying real as what, for what locus, through what access relation, at what scale, over what horizon, under what comparator, and with what residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Failure target Relationship and guardrail: Unindexed realism risks naive possession or indiscriminate inclusion. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r03 Term: Reference-indexed realism Controlled definition: Position that finite realism claims are models of ontological targets formed through the RRP scaffold under access, scale, horizon, comparator, and residual discipline. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Core position Relationship and guardrail: Reference-indexing disciplines realism; it does not dissolve the real/unreal distinction. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r04 Term: Ontological target Controlled definition: The target relation, condition, object, process, value, event, absence, possibility, institution, or structure toward which a finite realism claim is directed. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Target/model relation Relationship and guardrail: The target constrains what can be preserved, but no finite model exhausts the target whole. Paper 1c, heading 1.3 uses a local physical target cut within the relational index; this physical treatment does not silently replace Paper 1b broader target vocabulary. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r05 Term: Access scaffold Controlled definition: RRP-structured pathway by which substrate difference can become available, classed, registered, retained, and possibly redeployed for a finite locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Realism bridge Relationship and guardrail: The scaffold is not a semantic afterthought; it is the access condition of finite reality-claim. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r06 Term: Finite model Controlled definition: Indexed record or model of a target relation formed through bounded access conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Target/model relation Relationship and guardrail: A model may preserve real relation without being complete ontology. Paper 1c, heading 5.2 distinguishes the finite model from both distributed Relational Form and locus-specific reachability. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r07 Term: Target constraint Controlled definition: Reality-facing condition that limits what an access scaffold, abstraction, record, or model can successfully preserve. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Realist guardrail Relationship and guardrail: The observer cannot invent all constraints by perspective alone. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r08 Term: Access constriction Controlled definition: Finite-locus condition that limits what can be accessed, classed, registered, retained, and redeployed. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Finitude guardrail Relationship and guardrail: Constriction is not falsehood. It is the form of finite access. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r09 Term: Residual Controlled definition: What remains outside, under-specified, unpreserved, unresolved, or not yet carried by a finite model or claim under specified reference conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Closure discipline Relationship and guardrail: Residual prevents premature closure; it is not a defect to be hidden. In Paper 1c, heading 5.2 it also includes uncertain provenance and unestablished reachability; changed scaffolding can update access without guaranteeing closure. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r10 Term: Discipline of closure Controlled definition: Rule that a realism claim should close only to the extent warranted by target constraint, access scaffold, comparator pressure, and residual tracking. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Closure discipline Relationship and guardrail: Closure is not certainty, completeness, or final ontology. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r11 Term: Premature closure Controlled definition: Treating a finite model, record, measurement, category, or perspective as if it exhausted the target relation. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Failure mode Relationship and guardrail: Restore residual and specify the limits of the access relation. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r12 Term: Real/unreal contrast Controlled definition: Boundary relation through which realism gains force by distinguishing the real from illusion, fiction, possibility, absence, construction, abstraction, mistake, or mere seeming. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Realism problem Relationship and guardrail: The unreal often returns as experience, consequence, model, disclosure, branch-space, power, or error condition; the respect must be indexed. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r13 Term: Reality-claim Controlled definition: Claim about what is real, in what respect, through what access relation, for what locus, at what scale, over what horizon, under what comparator, and with what residual. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Evaluative claim Relationship and guardrail: A reality-claim is not well-formed without an index strong enough for the claim being made. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t07-r14 Term: Corrigible modelling Controlled definition: Model formation that remains open to testing, comparison, correction, weakening, or rejection under target constraint and residual discipline. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Objectivity precursor Relationship and guardrail: Corrigibility blocks both naive possession and sceptical collapse. D. Handoff and boundary terms TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08-r01 Term: Phenomenological availability Controlled definition: The finite availability of relation as something registerable, modelable, claimable, or experience-adjacent for a locus through access conditions. Canonical home / type: Part 2a | Bridge frame Relationship and guardrail: Use as bridge language only. Do not treat it as conscious experience unless later papers add that condition. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08-r02 Term: Knowledge Controlled definition: Downstream Part 2b status of retained distinction. Canonical home / type: Part 2b handoff | Not defined here Relationship and guardrail: Part 2a prepares RAS and retention architecture but does not assign full knowledge-status. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08-r03 Term: Intelligence Controlled definition: Downstream Part 2b status of applied distinction. Canonical home / type: Part 2b handoff | Not defined here Relationship and guardrail: Part 2a prepares RSD and branch-realisation architecture but does not assign intelligence-status. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08-r04 Term: Observation Controlled definition: In Paper 1b broad realism-facing use, bounded registration through the RRP scaffold; Paper 1c makes its physical ground explicit. In Part 2b it is a technical status developed through Paper 4 own ladder. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b | Broad bridge; Paper 1c, heading 5.3 | Physical grounding; Paper 4 | Technical status Relationship and guardrail: Do not treat broad observation language as the completed Part 2b status, and do not erase Paper 1b bounded-registration role. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08-r05 Term: Objectivity Controlled definition: Disciplined correction of indexed models under target constraint; later papers develop its abstraction, scale, and observation-specific detail. Canonical home / type: Paper 1b / downstream handoff Relationship and guardrail: Do not import later abstraction and scale objectivity detail into Part 2a definitions unless explicitly marked as downstream. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t08-r06 Term: Part 2b inheritance Controlled definition: The later sequence in which retained, applied, and technically observed distinction are developed as knowledge, intelligence, and observation. Canonical home / type: Support-control term Relationship and guardrail: Part 2b inherits Part 2a architecture; it does not redefine the Part 2a access scaffold. E. Relational Form and derived physical relations These entries compress Paper 1c, not a new support-defined architecture. The established A-D groups retain their order. Primitive definitions and the broader Paper 1b target vocabulary remain in their existing canonical homes. TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r01 Term: Relational index Controlled definition: The physically real depth and extension of relation; at full extension, the totality of relations in which physical states, trajectories, constraints, and organisations stand. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, headings 1.1-1.2 | Physical ground Relationship and guardrail: Broader than a local target or its Relational Form. Not a reference coordinate, semantic label, observer inventory, or finite model. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r02 Term: Target as local physical cut Controlled definition: The bounded ontological subdivision within the relational index whose physical relations are presently being tracked. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 1.3 | Local physical treatment Relationship and guardrail: The cut localises a claim; it neither creates the target nor terminates the target's real relations at the chosen boundary. Paper 1b retains the general target/model definition. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r03 Term: Coupling Controlled definition: Physical interaction through which target-relative difference becomes causally connected to a locus and a new local relation is produced. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, headings 2.1-2.2 | Physical access Relationship and guardrail: Target and locus histories jointly condition the encounter. Coupling alone does not establish classed registration or retained distinction. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r04 Term: Embodiment / embodied abstraction Controlled definition: The physical significance of an earned RAS: an OA-keyed retained substrate state instantiates the abstraction through which a prior relation was discriminated. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 2.3 | Operational description Relationship and guardrail: RAS remains primitive. Embodiment is not an additional informational status, and physical residue alone does not qualify. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r05 Term: Relational Reachability Controlled definition: Reference-conditioned capacity of a locus, given present physical organisation and available scaffolding, to stabilise a target-relative relation as operational distinction immediately or through physically supported intermediate relations. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 2.4 | Derived organisational condition Relationship and guardrail: Formation, not ingress. Indexed to target, locus, coupling, history, scaffold, and horizon; not a new RRP Set element or an absolute limit on reality. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r06 Term: Immediately reachable relation Controlled definition: A relation for which the locus already carries sufficient organisation for the relevant contrast to be classed and registered under the present conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 2.4 | Reachability distinction Relationship and guardrail: Immediate reach is relation-specific; encountering an object does not make every relation to that object immediately formable. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r07 Term: Constructibly reachable relation Controlled definition: A relation not yet stabilisable, but formable through a physically available sequence of intermediate distinctions, retained states, tools, demonstrations, or other couplings that changes the locus. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 2.4 | Reachability distinction Relationship and guardrail: Mere conceivability is not a supported path. Present unreachability can change when organisation or scaffold changes. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r08 Term: Scaffolding Controlled definition: Physically supported instruments, records, language, other loci, practices, or intermediate relations that can alter the route by which a locus forms further distinctions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, headings 2.4 and 5.2 | Support for formation Relationship and guardrail: A scaffold can change ingress, classing, or construction conditions; it does not deliver a completed meaning, establish KIP/OIP by itself, or guarantee adequate target-tracking. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r09 Term: Relational Form Controlled definition: The sum total of distributed relations tracking the same physically grounded distinction, whether presently instantiated in a target instance or preserving the physical possibility of such an instantiation. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, headings 3.1 and 7.1 | Higher-scale description Relationship and guardrail: Ontological extent is not finite enumeration. Form can be concentrated or diffuse, include conflict or error, and exceed one locus without becoming the whole index or a distributed Observer. Write in full; RF is reserved for Registration Fidelity. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r10 Term: Form before instance / Form in potential Controlled definition: Physically organised relations can support a target distinction before a particular local target instance exists. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, headings 3.3-3.4 | Potential dimension of Form Relationship and guardrail: Causal possibility must be carried by organisation. Neither a present hidden miniature nor a second ideal object outside physical relation is implied. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r11 Term: Relational continuity Controlled definition: Continuity of sufficient target-relevant structure and causal provenance across changed carriers, loci, or times. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 4.2 | Cross-substrate relation Relationship and guardrail: Material resemblance and total state identity are unnecessary; adequate preservation of the relevant distinction remains necessary. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r12 Term: Relational propagation Controlled definition: Continuity through transformations in which a source relation alters a carrier, selected contrast is preserved, another locus couples to it, and a related distinction can be stabilised locally. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 4.2 | Derived cross-locus account Relationship and guardrail: Do not transfer completed meaning intact. Carrier loss, failed ingress, insufficient receiver organisation, distorted abstraction, and absent redeployment remain distinct failures. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r13 Term: Representation Controlled definition: A later relation in which an embodied distinction is treated as standing for a target, state, class, event, or relation. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 4.1 | Downstream standing-for relation Relationship and guardrail: Physical relation and earned retention do not require representation. Successful representation requires an appropriate receiving regime and can fail despite carrier presence. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t09-r14 Term: Relational availability Controlled definition: Finite access through which relations cross a locus's present boundary, interface, scale, horizon, discrimination regime, and abstraction conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 1c, heading 6 | Bridge to a finite locus Relationship and guardrail: Availability opens a local path through the index or Form; reachability concerns which further relations can be formed from that path. Neither gives possession of the whole. 4. Misuse compression TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r01 Misuse: Physical difference = RRP-indexed information Correction: False. Difference becomes operationally informational for the evaluated locus only under RRP-indexed availability as distinction; other informational regimes retain their own conditions. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r02 Misuse: Signal = RRP-indexed information for a locus Correction: False. Signal is preserved contrast; operational information for the evaluated locus requires availability as distinction under RRP conditions. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r03 Misuse: Persistence or residue = record / RAS Correction: False. Physical persistence, propagation, marks, or residue are properties of state evolution; RAS requires OA-keyed OR production and retention under specified reference conditions. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r04 Misuse: RRP-relative = subjective Correction: False. Relative means reference-conditioned; the constraint remains real. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r05 Misuse: Observer/model creates target Correction: False. The target constrains what can be preserved; the finite model does not create the target by itself. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r06 Misuse: Finite access = scepticism Correction: False. Mediation is not unreality. Some indexed models preserve target relations better than others. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r07 Misuse: Closure = certainty Correction: False. Closure is disciplined to the extent warranted and must carry residual where the model is incomplete. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r08 Misuse: Locus Event Horizon = edge of reality Correction: False. It is the ingress-boundary of possible relation for a finite locus under a regime. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r09 Misuse: Embodiment = a new status after RAS Correction: False. It describes the physical instantiation already entailed by OA-keyed retention (Paper 1c, heading 2.3). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r10 Misuse: Ingress = Relational Reachability Correction: False. A carrier may enter the access path while the target relation remains unstabilisable for the locus (Paper 1c, heading 2.4). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r11 Misuse: Reachability = KIP / OIP / OH Correction: False. Relation formation, grounded record deployability, and reliable observation-program reach answer different questions. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r12 Misuse: Relational Form = relational index = finite model Correction: False. Form tracks a particular grounded distinction; the index is wider; a model is a finite indexed abstraction (Paper 1c, headings 5.2 and 7.1). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r13 Misuse: Physical provenance = every prior contrast preserved Correction: False. A distinction can lie in the causal history but be lost in transformation; another may never have coupled into the path (Paper 1c, heading 6). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r14 Misuse: Target-related error = a true target property Correction: False. A retained misrelation may be physically real and consequential without making its proposition true of the target (Paper 1c, heading 4.3). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t10-r15 Misuse: Relational Form = RF Correction: Do not abbreviate Relational Form to RF. RF denotes Registration Fidelity in Paper 4c. 5.

Other vocabulary definitions and canonical homes remain unchanged. Verification scope is stated in 0.1. 6. Release/revision checklist Does each term remain tied to a canonical home? Does every definition preserve the difference between physical difference, signal, OP, OR, RAS, and RSD? Does the glossary block signal/RRP-status inflation, information-scope collapse, and persistence/RAS inflation? Does it preserve local locus discipline and prevent external interpreter substitution? Does it distinguish RRP-relative from subjective or arbitrary? Does it preserve target/model/residual discipline? Does it avoid importing Part 2b knowledge, intelligence, and technical observation ladders as Part 2a definitions while preserving Paper 1b broad observation-as-bounded-registration language? Does it treat the Locus Event Horizon as an ingress-boundary, not an edge of reality or performance descriptor? Does it avoid importing older Part 2 drafts, exported full-series TEM material, or prior generated answers as conceptual source? Paper 1c check: are the relational index, local target, RAS, embodiment, reachability, Form, representation, and finite model kept distinct, with receiver-side formation and target-related error still explicit? Part 2b - Knowledge, Intelligence, and Observation Internal Part 2b support section. Papers 2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b, and 4c govern this region and inherit the Part 2a informational architecture. All paper-number references in this section use the current sequential numbering. 1. Purpose and canonical use rules This Part 2 Glossary records controlled vocabulary for Part 2b: Knowledge, Intelligence, and Observation. It prevents terminology drift as retained distinction, applied distinction, bounded registration, abstraction, perspective, scale, measurement, and observation-program descriptors 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. A term is permitted only when its discriminator conditions, locus, reference conditions, canonical home, and principal guardrail remain visible. • Paper 2 owns knowledge as retained distinction, RAS in the knowledge facet, TK, KIP, NTK, and the record-status/truth-status boundary. • Paper 3 owns intelligence as applied distinction, finite branch-space, information provenance, passive and active intelligence, NTI, and producing/applying-locus discipline. • Paper 4 owns observation as bounded registration, the observation ladder, observer-locus, Observer, Observer Event Horizon, and record-provenance. • Paper 4a owns cut, abstraction regime, perspective, event-horizon profile, Abstraction Gap, relational uncertainty, and objectivity as correction. • Paper 4b owns physical magnitude, reference scale, operative scale, scale-fixing, measurement, Scale Gap, cross-scale translation, and scalar objectivity. • Paper 4c owns observation program, threshold/performance separation, the descriptor layer, and OH, CH, RF, OBW, OD, OG, ODr, OL, and OCx. 2.

Canonical home / type: Part 2a | RRP Set Relationship and guardrail: No OP means no available distinction for the evaluated locus.

Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Core definition Relationship and guardrail: Minimal knowledge is retained distinction, not belief, semantics, truth, or warrant. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r02 Term: Retained distinction Controlled definition: Prior OP-supported, OA-classed alternative preserved in a re-identifiable OR-produced RAS over the relevant operational horizon. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Knowledge basis Relationship and guardrail: Carrier persistence alone is insufficient. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r03 Term: Past-dependent present state Controlled definition: Present structure whose discriminable form depends on which prior alternative was registered.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r04 Term: Trivial Knowledge (TK) Controlled definition: Record-presence: an OA-keyed, OR-produced RAS exists and remains re-identifiable over the relevant operational horizon at the reference scale.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r05 Term: Knowledge Inference Potential (KIP) Controlled definition: Grounded deployability: a retained discriminator is embedded within, or coupled to, organisation that could consult it through an admissible RSD pathway, although no realised deployment has occurred. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Knowledge status Relationship and guardrail: Imagined future usefulness is not enough; consultability must be well-posed. Relational Reachability concerns forming a relation; KIP concerns grounded consultation of a retained discriminator. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r06 Term: Non-Trivial Knowledge (NTK) Controlled definition: Realised deployment: a retained discriminator is actually redeployed through RSD so that later registration, transition, inference, action, control, or trajectory selection depends on which discriminator was present. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Knowledge status Relationship and guardrail: Strong NTK requires comparator-stable dependence; use does not establish truth or warrant. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r07 Term: Record-status Controlled definition: Status concerning whether a registered distinction is retained, deployable, or realised in use. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Status boundary Relationship and guardrail: Keep separate from truth-status, objectivity, justification, and adequacy. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t14-r08 Term: Truth-status Controlled definition: Evaluation of whether a retained distinction preserves the relation it purports to carry. Canonical home / type: Paper 2 | Stronger evaluation Relationship and guardrail: A false or corrupted record may still satisfy minimal knowledge-status.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r02 Term: Applied distinction Controlled definition: Distinction made operative so that which downstream branch is realised depends on the distinction. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Intelligence threshold Relationship and guardrail: The carrier does not define intelligence; the application does. Immediate, embodied, morphological, reactive, or currently registered application need not require durable retention (Paper 3, heading 3.3). RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r03 Term: Distinction-conditioned organisation Controlled definition: Organisation in which downstream transition depends on the discriminated alternative rather than carrier microdetail or background dynamics alone.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r06 Term: Passive information Controlled definition: Found distinction arising from lawful physical evolution, available as OP for a locus, and not produced by prior NTC-level organisation as the relevant form. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Provenance status Relationship and guardrail: A useful natural structure is not intelligent merely because it shapes outcomes. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r07 Term: Active information Controlled definition: Made distinction fixed into form by a producing locus through prior distinction-conditioned organisation under specified reference conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Provenance status Relationship and guardrail: Production fixes status. Present use, later encounter, or continued existence of the producer is not required while the made distinction remains instantiated.

Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Intelligence localisation Relationship and guardrail: Later use creates a new application relation, not the original provenance. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r10 Term: Passive intelligence Controlled definition: Made distinction reused by a locus to alter downstream trajectory selection without recomputing the original selection problem. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Intelligence relation Relationship and guardrail: Passive does not mean inactive; the reuse is presently operative. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r11 Term: Active intelligence Controlled definition: Current distinction-conditioned organisation that searches, regulates, repairs, inhibits, reallocates, recalibrates, selects, or controls downstream branch-space. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Intelligence relation Relationship and guardrail: Do not infer from state change alone; show applied distinction. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r12 Term: Reduced recomputation Controlled definition: Reuse relation in which prior selection embodied in active information is carried forward without re-solving the original problem in full. Canonical home / type: Paper 3 | Passive intelligence Relationship and guardrail: Does not require zero new processing. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r13 Term: Non-Trivial Intelligence (NTI) Controlled definition: NTC under the intelligence facet: realised, comparator-stable application of distinction-conditioned organisation to downstream trajectory selection.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t15-r14 Term: Provenance/use separation Controlled definition: Rule that the origin of a distinction and its present application are distinct relations that may involve different loci and times.

Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Observation status Relationship and guardrail: May include coupling, signal reception, transient tokenisation, or physical alteration without TO. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r05 Term: Trivial Observation (TO) Controlled definition: Record-presence: OR yields an OA-keyed RAS that persists over the relevant horizon at the reference scale.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r06 Term: Observation Inference Potential (OIP) Controlled definition: Grounded deployability: the retained observation record is embedded within, or coupled to, organisation that makes an admissible RSD pathway physically well-posed. Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Observation status Relationship and guardrail: Supports observer-locus status; does not establish realised observation. OIP is grounded record deployability, not Paper 1c relation-formation reachability. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r07 Term: Non-Trivial Observation (NTO) Controlled definition: Realised record-operativity: a prior OA-keyed RAS is actually redeployed through RSD as a controlling discriminator and downstream dependence is comparator-stable.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r08 Term: observer-locus Controlled definition: OIP-status observation-capable organisation in which retained record has a grounded consultability pathway.

Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Observer-status Relationship and guardrail: Does not imply consciousness or unbounded access. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r10 Term: Observer Event Horizon Controlled definition: Observer-facet name for the upstream ingress limit beyond which difference cannot become available as signal-bearing contrast capable of entering OP for the observer-locus under the present regime. Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Access boundary Relationship and guardrail: Not the edge of reality and not Observational Horizon. Nor does crossing it establish every higher-order relation as reachable. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r11 Term: Record-field Controlled definition: Field, archive, or distributed collection of retained records. Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Record architecture Relationship and guardrail: Record accumulation alone does not establish observer-locus or distributed Observer. A distributed Relational Form also does not by itself establish a shared operative locus. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r12 Term: Observation chain Controlled definition: Sequence of registrations, records, consultability pathways, and possible RSD links distributed across one or more loci. Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Composite architecture Relationship and guardrail: Localise each link; do not assume chain-level Observer status. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r13 Term: Record-provenance Controlled definition: The bounded registration path by which a record was produced. Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Epistemic boundary Relationship and guardrail: Observation gives provenance of record formation, not automatic truth, objectivity, or adequacy. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t16-r14 Term: Strong observation Controlled definition: Observation in which retained record is actually redeployed through RSD and makes comparator-stable downstream difference. Canonical home / type: Paper 4 | Strength relation Relationship and guardrail: Equivalent to realised NTO in the observation facet, not mere record-presence. E. Abstraction, perspective, and objectivity TABLE got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t17 RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t17-r01 Term: Observational cut Controlled definition: Elementary abstraction operation by which selected difference becomes registerable through boundary, channel, threshold, partition, equivalence relation, scale, sensor range, category, tokenisation, or model parameter. Canonical home / type: Paper 4a | Abstraction Relationship and guardrail: A cut admits and excludes; it is a condition of finite observation, not an accidental defect. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t17-r02 Term: Abstraction regime Controlled definition: Coordinated arrangement of cuts, thresholds, equivalence relations, saliences, records, categories, memory pathways, calibration practices, correction procedures, and inherited constraints through which relations become repeatedly registerable.

RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t17-r06 Term: Abstraction Gap Controlled definition: Discrepancy between an OA-keyed registration, record, model, word, measurement, theory, rendering, category, or perspective and the fuller relational structure it compresses. Canonical home / type: Paper 4a | Gap Relationship and guardrail: Not identical with error; it is the structural space in which error can arise. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t17-r07 Term: Relational uncertainty Controlled definition: Uncertainty about whether a cut, abstraction regime, or perspective preserves the relation it claims to register under specified reference conditions. Canonical home / type: Paper 4a | Uncertainty Relationship and guardrail: Localise the preservation question rather than globalising doubt. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t17-r08 Term: Consequential miscompression Controlled definition: Error arising when omitted, compressed, misclassified, misweighted, over-stabilised, under-specified, or excluded relation becomes consequential for the claim or action.

Canonical home / type: Paper 4b | Scalar process Relationship and guardrail: Perspective fixes scale because it fixes comparability. RECORD got-v1-part-2-support-glossary-t18-r09 Term: Measurement Controlled definition: Real relation registered through scale: context fixes RRP; interface supplies OP; measurement scale supplies OA; act performs OR; result becomes RAS; later use is RSD.

This glossary supplies controlled shorthand, not a replacement definition. • State the relevant locus and reference conditions whenever a term could transfer between source, carrier, producer, user, observer, institution, or analyst. • Preserve active-information provenance at the producing locus even when the producer is absent at later encounter. • Keep gap, error, uncertainty, residual, threshold, descriptor, and warrant terms distinct. • This is the final Issue 1 control state. Use the released paper identities and current source locks in 0.1, the directional support-control chain in 0.2 and the companion SHA-256 manifest. Any saved edit requires a new digest and downstream reconciliation. Part-level consolidation note Historical consolidation and the 23 September 2026 Pass 1 integration of Paper 1c are retained. This Issue 1 reconciliation aligns the event-horizon profile and Perspective relationship note with revised Paper 4a and records the limited integrations in Papers 2, 4a and 4c. All other vocabulary definitions, canonical homes, record order, control ID and both internal regions are preserved. Source and predecessor-support locks are reconciled within the verification scope in 0.1; no further paper edits are made.
