Concepts

Created

The lexicon. Each entry is one short page: canonical definition, body that earns the term, Further Reading inside and outside the wiki.

The Concepts section is a flat A-Z dictionary. Use it as the canonical reference for every coined term that appears across the wiki. Other sections link into it; concepts link to each other; nothing duplicates a definition that lives here.

How the lexicon is shaped​

  • One entry per coined term. If a phrase recurs across multiple articles and an outside reader would have to ask "what do you mean by that?", it has a home here.
  • Italic definition line under the H1. Every entry opens with a one-line definition you can quote into a sentence as a subject or object.
  • Further Reading at the bottom. Inside-the-wiki neighbors plus outside sources. The neighbors make the lexicon a graph rather than a list.

How to use it​

  • As a glossary. Look up a term. Read the italic line. Move on.
  • As a starting point for research. Click into a concept, follow Further Reading, land somewhere unexpected.
  • As an architecture diagram. Cross-links between concepts are the wiki's ontology.
