Attractor — A stable relational understanding in KNOWING that functions as an organising reference point for experience and manifestation. (point 27. Attractors as a principle of stability)
Attractor height — An attractor’s position in the emergence tree and its capacity to represent a higher understanding. (point 28. Relational support as the basis of attractor strength)
Attractor weight — The quantity of relations, experiences and previous understandings incorporated into an attractor. (point 28. Relational support as the basis of attractor strength)
Attractor Dynamics — The lawfulness that determines which relational understandings are stabilised, strengthened and acquire organising force in further manifestation. (point 27. Attractors as a principle of stability)
AWARENESS — BEING’s inherent receptivity to differences and changes; the condition that makes experience possible, inseparable from BEING itself. (point 3. AWARENESS (VARHET))
B — The experienced, qualia-based side of a relational event; THE SENSATION. Complementary to E. (point 5. THE FIRST POLARITY)
BEING — The ontological ground state; not a phenomenon among others, but existence itself as such — the precondition for everything that follows. (point 1. BEING (VÆREN))
Dissociation — The necessary emergence process in which experience is focused and stabilised around local perspectives that gradually develop their own relations and understandings. (point 35. Local stabilisations and dissociation)
E — The understanding- and concept-based side of a relational event; that which is understood in KNOWING. Complementary to B. (point 5. THE FIRST POLARITY)
Ego-tree — The local and limited organisation of experience that grows up when a focal point stabilises around the representation of a separate I. (point 103. The emergence of local ego-trees)
Emergence — The necessary consequence of every relational difference immediately establishing new relations, contrasts and further understanding in KNOWING. (point 33. Emergence as necessary reorganisation)
Emergence Circle — The Experience Circle seen from KNOWING’s side; the continuous reorganisation of relations and understandings that drives the universe’s development. (point 33. Emergence as necessary reorganisation)
THE EXPERIENCER — The universal experiencing instance that makes experience possible; not an identity or person, but the nameless principle that is always already present whenever anything is experienced. (point 2. THE EXPERIENCER)
Experience — Not merely the qualia-experience of a relation, but the entire process in which a relation is sensed, lived through, interpreted, given meaning and integrated into KNOWING; encompasses qualia, understanding, attractor formation and cognition as different aspects of one and the same process. (commentary at point 20. KNOWING as a relational field of knowledge)
Experience Circle (EC) — The operative mechanism that reads sensations and produces understanding; the mirroring mechanism that connects KNOWING and manifest experience. (point 34. The Experience Circle as a mirroring mechanism)
Fine-structure constant (α) — The dimensionless constant that describes the strength of electromagnetic relations; in the EC/HE theory a geometric necessity derived from the Horizon Equation. (point 62. The origin of the fine-structure constant)
FOCUS — AWARENESS’s natural and necessary orientation towards that which is sensed; the fundamental driving force behind experience and emergence. (point 8. FOCUS)
Horizon Equation (HE) — The mathematical formalisation of the Experience Circle’s stabilisation condition; the equation that describes the transition from abstract relation to manifest experience and that derives the fine-structure constant. (point 62. The origin of the fine-structure constant)
Idealist Emergence — Emergence in which new understandings arise through relations between existing understandings in KNOWING, not through physical processes. (point 18. IDEALIST EMERGENCE)
THE INTERSPACE — The understandings that live in the experiential domain immediately prior to ours; more finely resolved readings of the qualia landscape that become available when the ego-tree’s dominant attractors fall silent. (point 108. THE INTERSPACE as an experiential domain)
KNOWING — The total, static and fully updated totality of all established relations and understandings; the universe’s relational memory and ontological primary. (point 16. KNOWING (VITEN))
Manifest experience — What appears as physical reality, qualia and experience through the Experience Circle’s reading of KNOWING. (point 45. Manifest experience and the timeless whole of KNOWING)
Qualia — The subjective experiential quality of experience; the B side of a relational event. (point 4. THE SENSATION)
Recognition — The mechanism that identifies the highest available understanding in a given attractor landscape; not choice, but direct identification. (point 29. Recognition as a selection mechanism)
THE RECOIL PRINCIPLE — The structural necessity that every differentiation establishes its own complementary counter-differentiation; no separation can arise alone. (point 6THE RECOIL PRINCIPLE)
Relation — That which makes understanding possible; not something added to understandings afterwards, but that which arises simultaneously with the understandings themselves. (point 17. THE RELATION)
Resonance — The degree of correspondence between a new relation and the existing structure of KNOWING; the mechanism that makes recognition, stabilisation and emergence possible. (point 26. Resonance as the fundamental mechanism)
Reversed causality — The theory’s fundamental claim: causality runs from KNOWING through experience to manifest structure, not the reverse. (point 22. Reversed causality)
THE SENSATION — The first, pre-conceptual experience of a relational difference; qualia before interpretation. (point 4. THE SENSATION)
THE SOUL — THE EXPERIENCER in its local expression; the experiencing instance before all differentiation, ontologically identical with KNOWING and BEING. (point 126. THE EXPERIENCER as ontological primary, the concept of God, THE SOUL)
THE SOURCE — The complete, static and unalterable totality of all KNOWING; the simultaneous result of the Startup Sequence. (point 19. THE FIRST COMPLETE WORLD OF REPRESENTATION)
Understanding — The relational structure that arises when an experience has been interpreted and integrated into KNOWING; what experience leaves behind as permanent structure — the foundation that makes further experience, recognition, resonance and emergence possible. (commentary at point 5.3. THE HORIZON BETWEEN KNOWING AND MANIFEST EXPERIENCE)
VOID — The pure state without manifest or abstract differentiation; the universe’s resting pulse before new emergence. (point 129. VOID as an unstable final and zero state)
World of representation — The local manifestation of experience that a focal point organises through its attractor landscape; not reality itself, but one reading of it. (point 19. THE FIRST COMPLETE WORLD OF REPRESENTATION)
