Topics — What a work is about. Nucleation holds whatever reading the owner files here, whether or not an Anthology of the SOTA topic could also hold it; instruction for ML practice belongs to the anthology (ADR-048). The words are seeded from the clusters the reading-time triage of 2026-09-25 found, and grow by decision.
Linguistics — the study of language itself — morphology, lexicalism, word segmentation, syntax and semantics as linguists pose them, not as models encode them.

| # | Title | Summary | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| TERM-001 | fidelity, as the number of preserved constraints | A4, reading Hofstadter: fidelity as preservation along several dimensions (semantic, formal, rhyme, tone, pragmatic), traded off on a Pareto frontier. Undercut in the same reply by the mother’s translation. | Superseded — by TERM-013 |
| TERM-005 | frame, as an interpretive lens on the original | A11: the frame through which the original is reconstructed, deciding “what kind of thing the original fundamentally is”. A silent narrowing of the owner’s sense, corrected at U7. | Superseded — by TERM-035 |
| TERM-009 v2 | levels, as levels at which observables exist | The owner at U28: the levels (linguistic, conceptual, pragmatic, interactional, dynamical) organize observables, not objects, and may form a partial order. Manuscript §2: “These observations are not ordered into one strict ontological ladder.” | Active |
| TERM-013 | fidelity, as matching pragmatic signatures | A18: a rendering is faithful when its pragmatic signature in the target frame matches the source’s in its own frame, I_g(u_g) ≈ I_f(u_f). Replaced at A24 by distribution matching over contexts. | Superseded — by TERM-021 |
| TERM-016 | frame, as a pragmatic frame of reference | A18: an “interpretive and expressive coordinate system” within which a communicative act is realized, operationalised as f = (S, A, K, N, G) and made of public conventions. Built for the relativity analogy, and given up twice: at A24 for a measurement context, at A30 for an operator. | Superseded — by TERM-031, TERM-026 |
| TERM-018 | framing intervention | A39 §3.2: an action that changes the conditions under which an utterance is interpreted. Telling a reader who the speaker is and asking the reader to take the utterance a certain way are different interventions. Splits the A30 operator sense of frame. | Active |
| TERM-029 | frame, as the position a rendering is delivered from | The owner’s sense at U6: the frame “from which it is being delivered”. Silently narrowed at A11 to an interpretive lens, and restored at U7. | Superseded — by TERM-005 |
| TERM-030 | frame, as a configuration of the communicative situation | A38–A39: a pragmatic frame is a configuration of the social and interpretive conditions of an utterance, c = (u, s, a, k, n, g, h), “more than an analyst’s interpretive label”, and distinct from any intervention that changes those conditions. | Active |
| TERM-035 | frame, as the delivery frame: interpretive, enunciative and performative | A12, after the owner’s U7 correction: who is saying it, to whom, from what position, in what social context, with what attitude, split into interpretive, enunciative and performative frames. | Superseded — by TERM-016 |
