A.0:QF.2a - Set/space reading glosses

The current set/space reading terms should read plainly as follows:

  • SearchSpaceRef
    • one declared reference to the CharacteristicSpace currently used to search, compare, or navigate candidate possibilities
    • it is one role-named ref field over the existing CharacteristicSpaceRef / SpaceRef idiom, not one brand-new space kind
  • OutcomeSpaceRef
    • one declared reference to the CharacteristicSpace currently used to judge outcomes, effects, or realized value
    • it is one role-named ref field over that same idiom, not one synonym for SearchSpaceRef
  • DeclaredSubstrateInterpretiveView
    • the ordinary/common head of one optional interpretive-view family laid over one already-declared substrate-bearing line or one source set or one set result whose substrate remains recoverable
    • it helps the reader see the current inspection question; it does not replace the base source set or silently invent one new substrate
  • DeclaredSubstrateAtlasView
    • one richer optional interpretive view that keeps several declared views, spaces, mappings, or qualifiers visible together
    • use it only when the current reading truly needs that composite interpretation, and say why thinner interpretation is not enough; it is not the default meaning of palette, front, archive, shortlist, or candidate set
  • TypedSetViews
    • one explicit list of which declared set-view heads the current atlas/support reading is holding together
    • use it when several declared views must stay visible together; it does not create one new set result and should not hide the active source set or active set result
  • OutcomeMapRef
    • one explicit map reference showing how one declared source or set result bears on a declared outcome-side or effect-side space when that map materially matters
    • it qualifies the reading; it does not rename the source set into the outcome-side declared space/ref
  • SpaceMetricRef
    • one explicit metric-ref qualifier for the metric, neighborhood, distance, density, or reachability discipline being used inside one declared space
    • it qualifies how the reader is comparing positions in that space; it is not the space itself and not one substitute for SearchSpaceRef or OutcomeSpaceRef
  • TransitionRelationRef
    • one explicit transition-ref qualifier for the transition, cross-scale state-change, dynamic-coupling, or phase-change basis that the reading depends on
    • it explains why motion or cross-scale state change is being read a certain way; it does not by itself decide policy, planning, or publication
  • BridgeDistortionNote
    • one explicit note that a bridge, projection, aggregation, or derived reading is useful but not perfectly faithful
    • it tells the reader where comparability bends or information is lost, so a reading that claims bridge, substitution, or reliance beyond the declared note does not over-claim
