Origin

Node Identity

This node holds terms that describe where meaning, authority, and reference come from.

The terms here do not narrate history or explain influence. They describe source, continuity, and irreversibility as structural facts of a system.

Origin in CFIM is not a story about beginnings. It is a declaration of where reference is anchored and how it remains intact over time.

Glossary Classification System

Glossary terms in CFIM360 are not uniform. Each term carries a suffix that declares how it should be read.

The suffix is not stylistic. It constrains interpretation.

Suffix Definitions

P — Primitive

An irreducible reference term. It cannot be derived from other terms.

D — Distinction

A paired or comparative construct. It only makes sense in relation to its counterpart.

S — Structure

A stable configuration or topology that persists across contexts.

M — Mode

A way perception or intelligence operates.

F — Form

A recurring pattern that appears across systems or situations.

Containers in This Node

The Origin node contains the following containers. Each container groups terms by how reference is established and maintained, not by chronology or attribution.

Source Anchors

Terms that declare where meaning originates and what it is grounded in.

Reference Frames

Ways in which terms, systems, or claims are situated without comparison or translation.

Lineage

Terms that describe continuity across time without derivation or borrowing.

Authority Markers

Indicators that establish canonical reference, authorship, and non-derivative status.
