Glossary
Concise, source-bounded definitions for the public concepts that organize KoR research, diagnostics, and continuity infrastructure.
Purpose
Stable terminology without speculative extension.
This glossary provides short public definitions, their role inside KoR, and relationships to adjacent concepts. It does not reproduce protected formalism or present developing research as established results.
Each definition is grounded in the approved corpus summaries and strategy vocabulary. Source gaps remain visible where a requested term is not a standalone canonical component.
01 / Concept family
Coherence and stability
Viability, changing conditions, and descriptive stability under constraint.
Coherence
Within KoR, coherence refers to local structural viability under constraint.
Coherent Generalization
Within KoR, coherent generalization is the preservation of admissible coherence across changing constraint spaces.
Space Mutation
Within KoR, space mutation is a change in the constraint environment within which a structure operates.
Constraint Space
Within KoR, a constraint space is the set of constraints governing the viability of a structure.
Structural Stability Theory
Within KoR, Structural Stability Theory studies the conditions under which structures remain descriptively tenable under constraint.
Non-Closure
Within KoR, non-closure is the principle that no system fully internalizes all conditions governing its own coherence.
02 / Concept family
Refusal and admissibility
Structural boundaries and coherence-preserving refusal.
03 / Concept family
Memory and provenance
Compression, retained structure, and traceable lineage.
Structural Memory
Within KoR, structural memory is compressed continuity of coherent relations across transformation.
Compression Engine
Within this public glossary, compression engine names a prospective system surface for selective reduction intended to preserve structurally necessary relations.
Provenance
Within KoR, provenance is traceable lineage across transformation.
04 / Concept family
Symbolic diffusion and runtime systems
Propagation, observable runtime structure, and descriptive mapping.
05 / Concept family
Audits and diagnostics
Structural assessment, evidence distinction, and audit limits.
Truth Diagnostics
Within KoR, truth diagnostics assess coherence, provenance, admissibility, and continuity under constraint.
Stability Audits
Within this public glossary, stability audits refer to structural assessments of persistence, deformation, recoverability, and continuity under constraint.
06 / Concept family
Human-machine continuity
Coherent traversal and continuity systems across state and substrate boundaries.
