Relations

Node Identity

This node holds terms that describe what exists between systems.

The terms here do not describe internal states, intentions, or individual attributes. They describe fields of interaction, mutual influence, and structural connection that arise only in relation.

Nothing in this node has meaning in isolation. Each term refers to a configuration that emerges only when systems meet.

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.
