Reference

What Has Been Named

This reference lists the components, conditions, and structures named in The World series. It exists to make scope visible and to prevent redefinition through omission or repetition.

This reference does not explain, interpret, prioritize, or summarize. Each entry points to a paper in which the subject is fully addressed.

The World — Orientation

• The World: Load-Bearing Conditions Prior to Engagement
  Conditions that must hold before any system may act.
• The World: Person
  Human existence prior to systems, participation, or engagement.
• The World: Refusal
  Non-participation as a complete and stable condition.

The World — Structure

• The World: Sentinel
  Pre-decisional disclosure requirement. Sentinel requires declared intent before any judgment, evaluation, or legitimacy determination may occur. It does not decide, permit, or deny.
• The World: Threshold
  Binary legitimacy boundary.
• The World: Wanble
  Post-threshold language for eligibility, refusal, dependency, rest, and constraint without execution.
• The World: Window Eligibility State (WES)
  A recorded post-threshold eligibility condition indicating that legitimacy has been resolved and is no longer open to revision downstream.
• The World: The Window
  Public notice without contact, pursuit, or influence.
• The World: The Hall
  Human-facing surface of permitted engagement.
• The World: The Clearing
  Structural separation between intent and engagement.
• The World: Vessel
  A bounded structural container used to hold resources, intent, or value across time without converting collective presence into collective authority. A Vessel does not act, decide, represent, or speak. It exists to preserve continuity, allow contribution without coordination, and prevent leakage of obligation or standing back onto participants.

The World — Memory and Consequence

• The World: The Ledger
  Persistence of legitimacy states and their sequence.
• The World: Settlement
  Routing of consequence following cleared action.
• The World: Enforcement and Consequence
  Closure when legitimacy is absent or violated.

The World — Constraint

• The World: Mechanics
  Order, dependency, and irreversibility.
• The World: Epilogue
  Conditions that remain when the structure holds.

The World — Reference

• The World: Glossary
  Fixed terms required to read the work.
• The World: Reference
  Canonical scope of named elements and invariants.

Vessel Uses (Non-Exhaustive)

• Charitable contribution
• Mutual aid
• Research pooling
• Endowment-like funding
• Collective signaling
