Concept
Correction
Correction is reality-contact and revisability: the lived work of noticing mismatch, updating beliefs or behavior, and narrowing the gap between what was assumed and what is actually happening before drift hardens into normal.

concept
Circulation
Circulation is transmission and reproduction through systems: how norms, habits, and design choices move, repeat, and amplify—what spreads without being re-owned locally, and what keeps learning alive as coordination widens.
concept
Scale
Scale is coordination beyond direct relational encounter—growth in size, complexity, or abstraction layers that increases distance between decisions and consequences and therefore changes how cohesion, coupling, and feedback must be engineered to stay learnable.
concept
Legitimacy
Legitimacy is justified recognition of authority—whether power reads as earned and contestable enough that coordination holds under stress instead of collapsing into cynicism, performative compliance, or hidden veto by drift.
concept
Uncertainty
Uncertainty names what moral and social systems are built to reduce—fragmented lives, broken coordination, intolerable ambiguity—before compression and stabilization produce answers that feel obvious.
