Table A.1 · Terms and authoritative references
| Term | Meaning | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Organ | One bounded repository with one anatomical responsibility | Organ registry, Table 4.0 |
| Connectome | Repository-local graph of symbols, files and operational boundaries | Axon |
| DeltaReportV1 | Change-set-bound structural blast-radius envelope | Axon / Soma contract |
| Concern | A curated invariant with a lifecycle, evidence and promotion rules | Soma lifecycle, Fig. 4.4.2 |
| OTE | Ontology, Topology, Epistemology: the declarative manifest defining a seat's memory domain, mounted rings and evidence rules | engram.ote.v1 |
| LCB | Lower confidence bound: the conservative confidence estimate used with minimum-sample thresholds for memory graduation; high full-posterior LCB alone is insufficient without attested strong evidence | Graduation prerequisites |
| Seat | A provisioned agent identity and work context, with its own OTE, role and seat-local memory overlay | Cortex |
| Rig | An OpenRig grouping of one or more agent seats; the M3 ring is the rig / mission blackboard, not the repository ring | Memory topology |
| Oracle | An evidence-producing evaluator, such as a structural check, model rubric, sealed test or human verdict; these are distinct evidence classes, not interchangeable passes | Oracle and gate contract |
| M0–M4 | Fleet canon, role, repository, rig and seat memory rings | Engram |
| System 1 | Stateless rubric verification plane | Thalamus HTTP |
| System 2 | Reasoning plane with session affinity | Thalamus |
| Not evaluated | Requested work did not run; never a pass | Gate exit contract |
| vitals.v1 | Local JSONL record of hooks, gates and requested/evaluated oracles | Vitals contract |
| Early | A limited component, not a verified production integration | Hippocampus |
| S0–S11 | Numbered slices of the CNS hardening programme, from clean baselines through knowledge-layer interoperability; a recorded verification scope, not a live health check or version number | Programme slice index (source access required) |
| S6 | The guard-immunity and graduation-receipts slice within that programme; covers signed overrides, shadow promotion and reverts, with explicit sync limitations in its record | S6 record (source access required) |
Note A.1 · Definition and provenance
The OTE expansion and rig/seat terminology come from Engram's OTE specification at revision 7d23fbf (source access required). The definitions above are usable without that source access.
Registry labels such as S0–S11 verified retain their programme-record basis. They do not certify a current installation, a live service, every planned client, or the absence of documented limitations. In particular, the Engram plate's S6 guard-sync limitation is not erased by the broader programme label; consult the slice record before depending on replication of guard behavior.
