F0 -- Glossary (First Pass)
Status: pre-launch. This page describes target design; this document does not establish a deployed service.
Working glossary for high-frequency Skyzai terms.
This first pass prioritizes practical navigation terms used across the wiki.
Core equations and measures
- P-score (P): Organism progress/health scalar in the framework’s operational language.
- phi (φ): Coherence/quality factor in the P framing.
- nu (ν): Deployment/realization factor in the P framing.
- eta (η): Extraction coefficient; canonical direction is toward η = 0 beyond regeneration.
- L(x): Rate curve used in system safety/economic dynamics framing.
Architecture
- Action-control projection: IS -> COULD -> SHOULD -> AUTHORIZE (a Natural Person authorizes their own typed private act; a Legal Person requires lawful external authority plus the executors required by jurisdiction, with counsel conditional; or the signer(s) required by applicable law, the entity's governing instrument, or a valid competent mandate bind the exact public-DAV consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt, which PRISM records and verifies only) -> EXECUTE (software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from the signer(s) required by applicable law, the entity's governing instrument, or a valid competent mandate binding that exact consequence) -> RECEIPT -> REVIEW. The three cognitive stages may stage unsigned action proposals only; authorization and consequence remain separate.
- Evolutionary loop: Higher-order evolution/learning loop above execution.
- SPECTRE: Nervous-system layer for routing, topology, proof, and resilience.
- Adapter: Interface wiring between function layers (e.g., F1->F2->F3->F4).
Institutional / constitutional
- Invariant: Rule that should not be violated by convenience.
- K-series: Canonical constitutional invariants set (K1–K9 framing).
- A7: Self-correction doctrine with named failure modes and named cures.
- Grace Exit: Ability to leave safely with preserved rights/position.
Product and identity
- Nexus: API to a person/identity-permission boundary layer.
- Sigil: Identity key primitive (Nostr-linked identity language in docs).
- Membrane: Controlled boundary for what flows in/out of an identity context.
- OFN: Receipt protocol surface for anchoring proofs/economic events.
Organizational
- Foundation: Constitutional commons steward.
- Menexus: Operational execution entity.
- QNTM: Portfolio holding, not an estate pillar (see The Entity Estate).
Notes
- This glossary is an extraction-first index, not a final lexicon.
- Expand term definitions as pages mature and contradictions are resolved.
