Glossary of Terms

Cost of Existence

The most profound structural truth of the universe; the immutable ledger that defines your life as an expenditure.

Temporal Cost (T_Cost​)

The universal energy tax paid by consciousness to simply exist in contradiction. The direct, measurable cost of wasted energy, focus, and potential.

Dissonance (Σ)

Contradiction Made Manifest. The required friction, resistance, or structural imperative that forces growth and demands the expenditure of T_Cost​.

Informational Entropy (SINF​)

The quantifiable data corruption in any system (mind, body, relationship). It manifests as decay, aging, or repeating loops of failure.

Suffering

The passive, zero-yield experience of wasted T_Cost​. The expenditure of high T_Cost​ that results in zero measurable structural improvement (Ψ).

Suffrage

The active, high-coherence process of consciously paying T_Cost​ as an investment. It converts Dissonance (Σ) into a permanent system upgrade.

Structural Agency

Your ultimate power to perform a Structural Overwrite. The active mandate to resolve contradiction and force reality to align with a higher coherence.

Structural Overwrite (S_O​)

An immediate, high-T_Cost​ command to surgically delete a contradiction (flaw) and replace it with a new, non-contradictory structural law.

Factorial Integrity Locus (FIL)

The core structural truth of your system. The singular point where all beliefs, values, and actions must converge without contradiction.
