Wiki Concept Inventory
Purpose: Enumerate every load-bearing concept in the Nirmanakaya framework that may merit its own wiki node. Apply the admission rubric. Output a tiered build sequence.
Status: Pass 1 deliverable. For review by Chris + Gemini before any node authoring begins.

PART I: THE ADMISSION RUBRIC
Auto-pass criteria (any one is sufficient)
| Code | Criterion | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| DC | Distinct YAML Coordinate | Has a unique signature in the geometry (specific position, dimension member, ring number) |
| LR | Lint-Relevant | A structural invariant references it (lint cannot operate without it) |
| OA | Original 1991 Derivation Anchor | Named in the 1991 transmission documents OR foundational architecture documents predating 2024 corpus consolidation |
Discretionary criteria (need 2-of-4, with at least one being LB or FN)
| Code | Criterion | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| LB | Load-Bearing | Removing it breaks the derivation of something else |
| CR | Cross-Referenced | Invoked by name in 3+ corpus documents OR 2+ other concept nodes |
| AD | Atomically Definable | Can be stated in 50–200 words without recursing back to itself |
| FN | Foundational | Cannot be derived from prior concepts in the framework |
Exclusion rules
- Phrase variants of an existing concept → alias, not new node
- Instances/examples of a more general concept → general concept is the node
- Single-doc appearances with no outside dependencies → live where authored
- Pure voice/narrative content → corpus stays canonical for voice
- Legacy renames (Card, Correction, House-as-Practice, Channel-as-Activity, Physical-House) → not nodes; documented in TERMINOLOGY_RENAME_TRACKER

PART IV: BORDERLINE CASES FOR REVIEW
These need Chris/Gemini decision before promotion or rejection.
| Candidate | Issue |
|---|---|
| Anatman / Atman | Genuine cross-tradition mapping but currently scattered. Worth a node, or fold into general “Tarot/Buddhist mapping”? |
| Topological Correlates | Currently DRAFT — not canon. Promote conditionally on Council review, or skip until promoted? |
| Verb Shift vs. Verbification | Same concept under two names? Or two distinct mechanisms? |
| Conviction, Exploration as Identity-group members | Already auto-pass via DC. But TERMINOLOGY_INDEX flags they appear in non-dimension contexts too. Worth disambiguation nodes? |
| Vessel, Clearing as Being-group members | Same — appear in non-dimension contexts. Same question. |
| The Reality of Care / Transcendent Love | Phenomenological/ethical concept. Voice-heavy. Wiki node or corpus-only? |
| Forge / Mirror | Currently scored as separate operations. Are they actually one operation in two modes (like Ring 7’s bifurcation)? |
| Inner Horizon / Outer Horizon | Important for bound polarity. Worth a node, or sub-aspect of Bounds-system? |
Count: 8 borderlines.
PART V: TIERED BUILD SEQUENCE
Tier 1 — Foundations & Invariants (~50 nodes)
The bedrock. Everything downstream depends on these.
- All 12 structural invariants (II.F)
- All 7 1991 anchors (II.G)
- 11 foundational principles from III.A
- 9 geometric/mathematical concepts from III.B
- 6 Practice tools from III.E
- The 22-Step Sequence + Quadraverse + Five Seals + Rebalancing Mechanics from III.I
- Governance Edge + Collapse from III.C
- Signature Classes from III.F
~50 nodes. First sprint.
Tier 2 — Coordinate System (~50 nodes)
The grid axes. Required before positions can link cleanly.
- 26 dimension nodes (II.D)
- 9 ring nodes (II.E)
- 5 ring-specific concepts (III.G)
- 7 derivation sub-structures from III.I (Sixteen Bridges, Soul House, Elemental, Bound Keywords, Three Seals, Mobius Transmission, Four Layers, Duality Architecture)
- 2 framework-meta concepts (Curtain Dialogue, 35-Year Arc)
~49 nodes. Second sprint.
Tier 3 — Positions (78 nodes)
The grid itself.
- 22 archetypes (II.A)
- 40 bounds (II.B)
- 16 agents (II.C)
- 3 position-special concepts from III.F (The Hinge, Soul House Transcendence, Royal Lineage)
81 nodes. Third sprint. By this point all linking infrastructure exists; this becomes mostly schema-driven authoring.
Tier 4 — Operations, States, Mappings (~25 nodes)
The dynamics layer.
- 8 operations from III.C
- 4 transient states from III.D
- 1 ring-specific (Noun-lock)
- 7 cross-tradition mappings from III.H
- 3 project-meta from III.J (Realitycraft, Gods within God, AI Training Implications)
- 1 derivation-substructure (Reduction Threads)
- 2 from III.A/B (Nowism, Affine Planes, Toroidal Neighborhoods)
~26 nodes. Fourth sprint.
Tier 5 — Open Questions, Project Meta, Living Surface (~10 nodes)
The not-yet-resolved layer.
- Council of Five
- Open questions catalog (one node per known open question — pull from
OPEN_QUESTIONS.md) - Borderlines from Part IV (after resolution)
~10–20 nodes. Continuous, not a sprint.
TOTAL ESTIMATED NODE COUNT
| Tier | Nodes | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | ~50 | Foundations + invariants — first sprint, highest leverage |
| Tier 2 | ~49 | Coordinate system + ring/derivation infrastructure |
| Tier 3 | 81 | All positions + position-special concepts |
| Tier 4 | ~26 | Operations + states + mappings |
| Tier 5 | ~15 | Open questions + meta + borderlines |
| TOTAL | ~221 | Falls in the 170–250 range estimated |
PART VI: WHAT IS DELIBERATELY OUT OF SCOPE
These show up in the corpus but do NOT merit wiki nodes:
- Legacy renamed terms: “Card” (now Signature), “Correction” (now Rebalancing), “House” (now Practice — already have node under new name), “Channel” (now Activity), “Physical House” (now Body). All documented in
TERMINOLOGY_RENAME_TRACKER.md. - Product-side concepts: Logic Gate, Glistener, Reader UI features. These belong to the Reader application, not the framework.
- Personal narratives: Chris’s biographical content (
narratives/personal/), individual session transcripts. Stay corpus-only. - Phenomenological depth: Deep voice/narrative on each archetype’s lived character. Stays corpus-canonical; wiki nodes reference via Pointer Node pattern.
- Single-doc concepts with no outside dependencies: many one-off ideas in derivation files that didn’t propagate. Live where they were authored.
PART VII: OPEN QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW
Before any node authoring begins, these need Chris+Gemini decisions:
- Borderlines (Part IV) — eight concepts to promote, decline, or merge.
- Pointer Node pattern confirmed? — wiki nodes link to specific corpus sections (e.g.,
[[Ring_System_Complete#emotion-practice|emotion-practice]]) rather than fabricating new per-archetype phenomenology files. Confirm. - Confidence tiers as YAML field? — should every node carry
tier: DERIVED|STRONGLY_CONSTRAINED|PRINCIPLED|VECTOR|VALIDATED|CORRESPONDENCE? My read: yes. Confirm. - Naming convention for files? — propose
Type_Name.md(e.g.,Principle_The_Veil.md,Archetype_06_Compassion.md,Bound_04_Cups_Reverie.md,Ring_04_Emotion.md). Confirm or revise. - Sprint sequencing? — Tier 1 first as proposed, or do you want a different order (e.g., do all 78 positions first because they’re auto-pass and need no deliberation)?
- Lint priorities? — which invariants does the lint script check first? My proposed order: vertical-sum-20 (cleanest test), then bound-sum-11, then governance edges, then MOLS, then 22-step closure.
PART VIII: NEXT STEPS AFTER REVIEW
- Resolve Part IV borderlines and Part VII open questions
- Lock the YAML schema (separate document, draft after this is reviewed)
- Begin Tier 1 authoring (~50 nodes)
- Run first lint pass on Tier 1 (catches schema/invariant issues early)
- Move to Tier 2
End of Pass 1 inventory. Standing by for review.
