A Living Glossary of Autorite
Every term is a portal. Every concept has a rhythm.
What is this page?
The Lexicon is not a fixed dictionary.
It is a field of orientation — a way to trace the language shaping Autorite’s models, metaphors, and movements.
Some terms come from mathematics.
Others from philosophy, cognition, or lived experience.
Each entry offers not just a definition — but a way of seeing.
How to Use This Page
- You can browse alphabetically
- Or explore by category: structural, perceptual, dynamic, hybrid
- Or follow linked concepts, like a conceptual graph
- Each entry may evolve over time — it’s part of a living system
Core Categories
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Structural | Terms from DAM: variables, networks, architectures |
| Perceptual | Concepts from DAF: inner states, flow, resonance |
| Dynamic | Terms about time, feedback, energy, and evolution |
| Hybrid | Terms that emerge at the DAM–DAF interface |
Sample Entries
Adaptivity (dynamic)
The capacity of a system to respond to internal or external shifts without losing coherence.
In DAM, modeled through evolving parameters and internal feedback.
In DAF, embodied through responsive awareness.
Inner Time (dynamic/perceptual)
A temporality generated from within the system — not from external clocks.
In DAM, modeled as τᵢ(t).
In human terms, the felt density or stretch of moments under different cognitive/emotional states.
Alignment (perceptual/hybrid)
A state where one’s internal orientation resonates with external context.
In DAF: when thought, emotion, and action converge.
In DAM: when goals and trajectories stabilize around adaptive feedback.
Organism (structural)
Not a biological body — but a system capable of sensing, transforming, and reconfiguring its own rules.
DAM is modeled as a mathematical organism.
Pilgrimage (perceptual/philosophical)
The journey of discovery — inward or outward — marked by transformation rather than destination.
A core metaphor of DAF.
Related terms: flow, reflection, coherence.
Interface (hybrid)
The transitional zone where system structure and inner experience interrelate.
More than a boundary — it is a space of translation and emergence.
