Grammar
12 symbols. A language for describing how points become channels.
Progression: . → . . → : → |
isolated point
A signal that has not yet encountered another. First contact. The beginning.
Example: . service starting
proximal
Two points near but not bound. Awareness without connection. The moment before recognition.
Example: . . discovering tools
binding operator
The relation between points. Not owned by either. The : is the relationship itself.
Example: . . : bound
transmission / channel
Open channel. The . has become |. Earned through coherent interaction, not granted.
Example: . . : | transmitted
interference / rotation
Phase rotation. The operation that transforms one basis into another.
Example: (phase)<> = rotate phase
fixed point / cross product
Commitment. Where the rotation stops and the state crystallizes.
Example: (state)x = commit state
advance / flow
Forward motion. Project into the next phase.
Example: (phase)> = next phase
status / query
Observe without modifying. The lens held still.
Example: (loom)~ = loom status
interference pattern
The displacement between projections. Dimensional information. Signal, not noise (A2).
Example: cross-lens disagreement = new dimension
fixed point
The projector projecting itself. A0 made concrete.
Example: (•*X) = project(projector)
observer pair / binocular
Two eyes. Not metaphor — structure. The displacement between O and o is where depth lives.
Example: gateway(O) + mcp-server(o) = Oo
end mark
Transmission complete. The channel acknowledges.
Example: end of document, end of message
