Authority

Foundational codex authority.

This paper governs notation, representation rules, and diagrammatic grammar for Arc 1.

All subsequent papers assume these definitions and do not modify them.


Role in Arc 1

Paper I establishes the grammar.

It defines the representational system within which all later structure is expressed. No structural result in Arc 1 is independent of this grammar.


Establishes

  • bridge quantity ℓm
  • A-side and B-side representation
  • prime notation
  • mid₁ mirror inversion
  • quadrant grammar
  • hourglass grammar
  • admissibility of dimensional representation

What This Paper Does Not Do

  • does not introduce physical mechanisms
  • does not introduce forces or fields
  • does not propose dynamics
  • does not reinterpret standard physics

Read This Paper For

  • notation rules
  • side representation discipline
  • diagrammatic grammar
  • codex constraints

Primary Concepts

  • ℓm
