This dictionary is the unified internal lexicon of the VP framework: every cross-volume term and every locked core number, each with its plain meaning, its grade, and a link to the single canonical source. Same-glyph collisions are disambiguated; per-disease and per-gene data are pointed to, not copied.
Grades. [F] forced — follows necessarily from the math/substrate (not contingent on a fit)
[V] verified — passed a test built to falsify it, against external data
[L] anchored — rests on a single declared empirical LOCK; trace the anchor
[O] open — an honest gap; the obstacle is stated. [O] is a finding, not a failure (반증=발견)
[imported] cited from another volume as provenance, not re-derived here
[admissible] a closed mechanical read (e.g. a DNA Layer-1 gloss); STATE/sign/dosage/timing remain runtime
[discipline] a governance rule or apparatus, not a graded claim (e.g. the no-tuning flowchart)
[principle] a stated principle or demonstration rather than a measured number
[distinguishing] the framework's unique, falsifiable prediction
Kernel & substrate — the one universal machine 16
φ ≈ 0.7405 — Jammed substrate (the vacuum) — The single physical claim of the whole framework: the vacuum is a jammed elastic solid at random close packing. Everything else is this medium plus one switch. [F] forced . canonical §3 unifies: VP, Volume Particle, emerged_substrate
c² = B/ρ — Speed of light as an elastic wave — Light is the single longitudinal elastic wave that survives at the jammed lattice's isostatic point (shear modulus → 0); B = bulk modulus, ρ = density. Forced from the marginal substrate and simulation-verified to 0.06%. [F] forced . canonical §1 (EM) unifies: cs2, c2, cBrho
ṡ = g·s − s³ + h — R19 bistable switch (the kernel) — The universal object: a double-well cubic. g sets the basin-threshold scale, h is the drive. The cooperativity IS the −s³ term (order n = 3); the double-well itself arises from the stiffness shell (a frequency-selective rigid shell), not mere hardness — that is why it is a switch. Bit-identical across every volume at run time. [F] forced . canonical §3 unifies: r19, switch
γ = −mean NN stacking ΔG₃₇ — γ — promoter stacking stiffness (the ruler) — Minus the mean nearest-neighbour stacking free energy (SantaLucia 1998) over the proximal promoter (TSS−2000..+500, GRCh38). Sets the R19 threshold SCALE, not the trait. corr(γ,GC)=0.998. Measured, never fitted; carries composition, not lineage. [V] verified . canonical §2 unifies: gamma-method, nn-stacking
h* = 2(γ/3)^1.5 — Spinodal (the firing threshold) — Equivalently |h_sp| = (2/3√3)·γ^1.5. The bias past which one R19 basin disappears and the flip becomes discontinuous — a substrate primitive set entirely by γ. [F] forced . canonical §I (locus) barrier = γ²/4 — Barrier (state stability) — The energy barrier between the two basins. Ranks state stability and sets the Kramers crossing rate — larger-γ organs hold memory and resist transformation more strongly. [F] forced . canonical §I (locus) unifies: r19-barrier
dwell(γ) ≈ γ^1.5 — Dwell (reservoir / size) — How long a switch runs before its finite reservoir empties; sets reservoir capacity and the replicative limit, and is read as relative organ size in the emergence engine. [F] forced . canonical §5 STATE · spinodal(γ) · dwell∝γ^1.5 — Emergence engine (the creation recipe) — How anything emerges from measured γ: STATE(γ→can-fire)=presence; spinodal(γ)=developmental order; dwell∝γ^1.5=relative size. A NON-FIT baseline — the engine never reads the outcome it predicts. [L] anchored . canonical §13 unifies: emergence, emergence-engine, emergence-lambda
R19 cubic + slow recovery — FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillator — The shared relaxation-oscillator law: the R19 fast variable plus a slow recovery variable τ_s sets the period, so the substrate's intrinsic rhythm sits far below the switch timescale (hearts, clocks, neurons). [V] verified . canonical §3 unifies: fhn-oscillator
rate ∝ exp(−barrier/D) — Kramers / Arrhenius barrier — Barrier crossing over the γ²/4 barrier with a single noise scale D; the switching-kinetics primitive shared by chemistry, geodynamics, the immune threshold and the clocks. [F] forced . canonical §2 R = (F/β)^(1/3) — Cube-root transduction (criticality) — Hold the R19 switch at criticality (g → 0) and it gives cube-root compression with exponent exactly 0.3333, parameter-free — the cochlear and retinal amplifier. [V] verified . canonical §7 φ_RCP = 0.7405 — Random-close-packing fraction — Packing fraction of the vacuum substrate (random close packing). [F] forced . canonical §2 ⚠ DISTINCT from φ_jam = 0.840 (2D jamming onset) and φ_iso = 0.633 (isostatic z→6). Three different packing fractions — do not conflate.
rigid shell — blocks high-frequency deformation — Stiffness shell (the precise term for 'stiffness') — What the framework loosely calls 'stiffness' is precisely a rigid SHELL, not a scalar hardness: a structure that blocks high-frequency deformation. Because it is a frequency-selective shell it produces the bistable double-well — this is WHY the kernel is a switch, and why the concept is more than firmness. In the stiff limit it fixes the quantum length D = 2λ_C,e ≈ 4.854 pm. [F] forced . canonical Appendix J / rigidity unifies: rigid-shell
minimal rectified unit; rate ν fixes the time unit — Event quantum (the unit that flows and annihilates) — The minimal loggable unit of change in the medium. Its canonical (rectified) count N_can over a window, and its canonical rate ν, FIX the framework's unit of time. This is the quantum that flows in and annihilates — the same object from the quantum scale up through chemistry to cosmology. [F] forced . canonical §9 unifies: canonical event, event
Q ∝ mass — Inflow (유입) — the medium into matter — The vacuum medium (event quanta) flowing INTO a body at rate Q, proportional to its mass — the engine of gravity and of the galactic acceleration scale a₀. A general mechanism used from the quantum scale through chemistry to cosmology; at the rotor scale it is the same thing as 'suction', the 3-rotor inflow of fluid-dynamics. Its directional opposite is outflow / emission. [F] forced . canonical §1 unifies: vacuum-inflow, suction
quanta removed from the medium; ν_p per nucleon — Annihilation (소멸) — the sink — Quanta annihilated — removed from the medium — the sink counterpart to inflow. The per-nucleon annihilation rate is ν_p = 3π⁴. Where quanta are annihilated away, deficit cores form (the 'dark' cores), and with no quanta there is no temperature. A general mechanism, quantum through cosmology. [F] forced . canonical §1 (dark cores Ch.8) unifies: annihilated, sink
