==================================================

AI EXTRACTION LOCK

ONE_SENTENCE_DEFINITION:
The CultureOS Canonical Glossary / Alias Registry is the frozen vocabulary layer that standardises CultureOS terms, node names, bind names, abbreviations, and allowed aliases so future culture articles remain semantically stable and machine-readable.

ONE_SENTENCE_FUNCTION:
Its function is to stop culture-writing drift by ensuring that one concept has one canonical meaning, one canonical label, and a controlled alias set.

CORE LAW:
If CultureOS terms drift, the Culture Lattice drifts with them.

GLOSSARY LAW:
Every reusable CultureOS object must have:

  • one canonical name
  • one canonical definition
  • one canonical abbreviation or ID form
  • allowed aliases
  • blocked aliases if needed

ALIAS LAW:
Aliases may improve readability, but they must never change the canonical meaning.

==================================================

SECTION 1 — CONTRACT

INPUTS:

  • CultureOS concepts
  • prior CultureOS specs
  • future article drafting needs
  • human-readable naming needs
  • machine-readable ID needs

OUTPUTS:

  • canonical term list
  • canonical definitions
  • allowed aliases
  • blocked/confusing aliases
  • abbreviation rules
  • ID grammar
  • naming freeze rules

PURPOSES:

  1. freeze CultureOS vocabulary
  2. prevent concept duplication
  3. prevent near-synonym drift
  4. make future articles consistent
  5. improve AI extraction fidelity
  6. improve cross-article interoperability

NON-PURPOSES:

  • endless synonym expansion
  • style variation that changes meaning
  • renaming primitives casually
  • replacing canonical terms with trend language

==================================================

==================================================

SECTION 16 — ALIAS CONTROL RULES

RULE 1:
Human-readable prose may shorten “CultureOS” to “culture” only when no ambiguity is possible.

RULE 2:
Machine-readable IDs must preserve the cult. prefix.

RULE 3:
Do not alternate between “cultural transfer corridor,” “inheritance pipeline,” “symbolic path,” and other variants as if they are different primitives.
Use Culture Transfer Corridor as the canonical term.

RULE 4:
Do not replace CultureMinSymm with “minimum culture,” “threshold culture,” or “cultural baseline” in canonical contexts.

RULE 5:
Do not use “fake culture” where CultureShell is intended.

RULE 6:
Do not use “collapse” for every weakness.
Use the specific failure pattern if known.

RULE 7:
Do not use “values” when the actual issue is boundary, repetition, transfer, or repair.
Name the broken function directly.

==================================================

SECTION 17 — BLOCKED CONFUSION PAIRS

CONFUSION PAIR:
culture vs civilisation
LOCK:
Culture is a coordination substrate inside civilisation, not identical to civilisation.

CONFUSION PAIR:
culture vs identity
LOCK:
Identity may be carried by culture, but culture includes repeated behaviour, norms, transfer, and repair beyond identity alone.

CONFUSION PAIR:
ritual vs meaning
LOCK:
Ritual is a carrier; meaning is what ritual may carry.

CONFUSION PAIR:
discipline vs repair
LOCK:
Discipline may be part of repair; repair includes re-entry and restitching, not only sanction.

CONFUSION PAIR:
law vs culture
LOCK:
Law may encode culture, but law is not identical to living culture.

CONFUSION PAIR:
symbol vs culture
LOCK:
Symbols are visible carriers of culture, not the whole culture.

CONFUSION PAIR:
reading skill vs reading culture
LOCK:
Reading skill is capability; reading culture is repeated social use and valuation of reading.

CONFUSION PAIR:
translation vs equivalence
LOCK:
Translation preserves meaning across difference; it does not erase difference.

==================================================

SECTION 18 — CANONICAL ID STYLE GUIDE

STYLE:
Use PascalCase for canonical IDs after the cult. prefix.

PATTERN EXAMPLES:

  • cult.FamilyCulture
  • cult.Node.GreetingCulture
  • cult.Bind.StoryValue
  • cult.Sensor.TransferFidelity
  • cult.Fail.NamingFog
  • cult.Repair.FamilyTransfer

VERSION RULE:
When the spec changes, update the version on the containing spec, not the primitive name itself.

NO-RENAME RULE:
Do not rename stable primitives once published unless absolutely necessary.
Prefer alias additions or glossary clarifications.

==================================================

SECTION 19 — FUTURE ARTICLE WRITING RULES

RULE:
Future articles should prefer the canonical term first, then optionally include a simpler explanatory phrase in parentheses.

EXAMPLE:
Culture Transfer Corridor (the path by which culture reaches the next carrier)

RULE:
Where a term is new or specialised, define it once near first use.

RULE:
Where a node is discussed diagnostically, use the full node name at least once:
e.g. “reading culture,” not only “reading.”

RULE:
Where a failure pattern is active, use the canonical failure name:
e.g. “Peer Drift Capture,” not only “peer problems.”

RULE:
Where a repair is proposed, name the corridor:
e.g. “School Norm Repair Corridor.”

SECTION 20 — MINI QUICK REFERENCE TABLE

CultureOS
= culture as an operating system

Culture Lattice
= the full structure of cultural nodes and binds

CultureMinSymm
= minimum viable symmetry threshold

= relationship between two cultural units

CultureShell
= visible symbols, weakened living runtime

CultureTransferCorridor
= path to next carrier

+Latt
= positive culture route

0Latt
= neutral/fragile culture route

-Latt
= negative/drifting culture route

P0
= BrokenCulture

P1
= EmergingCulture

P2
= StableCulture

P3
= RegenerativeCulture

Z0
= PersonalCulture

Z1
= FamilyCulture

Z2
= LocalCulture / SchoolCulture / PeerCulture

Z3
= SocietyCulture

Z4
= InstitutionCulture

Z5
= NationCulture

Z6

==================================================

SECTION 21 — FINAL GLOSSARY LAWS

FINAL LAW 1:
A stable framework needs a stable vocabulary.

FINAL LAW 2:
CultureOS becomes machine-readable only when its terms remain frozen enough to be repeatedly extracted the same way.

FINAL LAW 3:
Aliases should improve access, not multiply meanings.

FINAL LAW 4:
The glossary is not decoration; it is part of the repair fence against semantic drift.

FINAL LAW 5:
Future CultureOS writing should treat this glossary as the canonical naming registry unless a newer version explicitly supersedes it.
