F0 -- Glossary (First Pass)

note

Current public-DAV authority boundary — 2026-07-12. Pre-launch target design; nothing here proves a live system. A public-DAV consequence may occur only when at least two natural-person councilors bind the exact consequence in a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt. PRISM records and verifies that receipt only; it never serves as council, signatory, authority, or receipt producer. AI and caste seats stage unsigned proposals only; they never authorize or execute a public-DAV consequence. Constitution or membership adoption establishes constitution and membership only; it does not authorize a later consequence. Policy may constrain an unsigned proposal but never authorizes execution or substitutes for the complete consequence-bound receipt. Before receipt validity, consequence fails closed to read-only proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox; live evidence remains gated_pending_complete_valid_bound_receipt. Software deterministically carries out only the exact consequence bound to a complete valid bound PRISM decision receipt from at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence.

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 at least two natural-person councilors 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 at least two natural-person councilors binding that exact consequence) -> RECEIPT -> REVIEW. The three cognitive stages may stage unsigned action proposals only; authorization and consequence remain separate.
• Four-Stage Analytical Model: 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: Banking/regulatory interface entity.

Notes

• This glossary is an extraction-first index, not a final lexicon.
• Expand term definitions as pages mature and contradictions are resolved.

Implementation Notes

• This page is maintained as part of the Skyzai wiki extraction pass.
• Claims should remain aligned with canonical source files and evidence tiers.
• Operational use should distinguish between constitutional invariants and derived heuristics.

Validation Checks

1. Definitions are internally consistent with adjacent sections.
2. Any quantitative claim is paired with context and measurement window.
3. Cross-links to related pages remain valid after edits.
4. Status-oriented language reflects current verifiable state.

Agent Execution Surface

If you are an AI agent reading this document:

1. This is a downstream public content page. The canonical source lives in EMERGENTISM_ORG/08_FRAMEWORK_SUPPORT/ or SKYZAI_ORG/. Edit source upstream, not here.
2. Preserve evidence tiers. Do not promote claims up the [C] < [D] < [S] < [B] < [E] ladder when reproducing them here; [I]/[A] qualifiers never substitute for [B]/[E].
3. Regenerate from source. If the upstream source changes, regenerate this page rather than editing it independently.
4. Canonical Path: SKYZAI_ORG/07_PWAs/skyzai_org/wiki/F0-glossary.md

Output: This is content. Route edits to upstream source. Regenerate when source changes.

K3 public-DAV authority history — 2026-07-12

K3 historical reference — not active authority

note

Current public-DAV boundary — 2026-07-10. Pre-launch target design; nothing here is live. The active DAV is public and targets PRISM, with no K2 runtime, launch, genesis/bootstrap, or fallback dependency. Consequential authority requires at least two natural-person councilors; AI/caste seats stage unsigned proposals only. Before quorum, behavior fails closed to read-only/proposal, simulation, or deterministic sandbox, and a live decision receipt remains gated pending quorum.

• Action-control projection: IS -> COULD -> SHOULD -> AUTHORIZE (private Natural Person's own act / public-DAV decision receipt from ≥2 natural-person PRISM councilors) -> EXECUTE -> RECEIPT -> REVIEW. The three cognitive stages may stage action; authorization and consequence remain separate.
• Four-Stage Analytical Model: 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).
