Glossary — the Dysnomia vocabulary
The names come from three interleaved systems: Greek (Eris/Dysnomia, the moons of Saturn and Mars), Chinese dynastic and medical vocabulary, and 1960s computer-science terms. This table decodes what each term means in this system; addresses are full-length on the entity pages and the hub.
| term | meaning here |
|---|---|
| Soul | the uint64 identity id every user is registered under in ZHENG |
| SHA | the cryptographic particle — a Fa-family state machine (base + exponent) a user or contract holds |
| SHIO | the channel between two SHAs; a token contract holding the conversation state |
| LAU (雷/倫) | the per-user account token; your handle as an ERC-20 |
| VOID | the shell/session layer over the kernel |
| YI / ZHENG / ZHOU / YAU / YANG / SIU | the wave-1 registry spine, each a token owning pieces of the layer below; ZHENG is the soul registry, SIU the user gate |
| Bao (包) | the universal entity record — account, channel, keys and current entropy pair [src: include/bao.sol] |
| entropy | the evolving numeric state every user and venue carries; the denominator of the derived statistics |
| CHO | the wave-2 hub: sessions, entropy, the coordinate lottery, the alias book, the privilege injector |
| QING (清) | a venue — chat room + micro-economy wrapped around any ERC-20 |
| MAP / HECKE | the venue factory and the meridian coordinate transform |
| Phobos | the first QING (the “Zürich QING”); the ladder’s fixed reaction reference |
| Fornax / Fomalhaute / Eris | the three constellation SHIO channels created in the wave-1 constructors; the ladder’s physics constants |
| Tethys | CHO’s own SHIO channel — which is the CHO hub contract address, a label collision to remember |
| Waat | a venue’s raw coordinate value on the meridian transform |
| YUE | the per-player vault/account token; earnings land in it, withdrawals need CHAN escrow consent |
| CHAN | the YUE directory + the consent (OptIn) escrow |
| CHOA (抄) | chat-to-mine: venue chat that pays a MAI bounty into your YUE |
| CHEON (天) | the settle primitive returning the current bars |
| soeng / sky / tang | the source-directory families: the physics ladder / the account layer / the settle layer |
| QI / MAI / XIA / XIE / ZI / PANG | the ladder rungs — energy, pulse, charge, leak, spin, push (Chinese-medicine concepts) |
| RING / META | the ladder’s consumers: the moment recorder and the tile-parameter oracle |
| Beat | META.Beat(waat) — the oracle read returning (Dione, Charge, Deimos, Yeo), the territory-expansion inputs |
| Yeo | the tile-radius parameter Beat returns (deployed Yeo/Chao division — comes out Chao-scaled large) |
| Yuan | the purchasing-power modulus: bal + 10×LAU + 40×YUE |
| DO (搞) | the venue-claim deed layer (Take(qing) adds you as a QING owner) |
| diyat | the gas tax inside the random-generator helper, paid to the dev’s LAU |
| cap / meter | a contract’s lottery-drawn lifetime self-mint budget (Random() % 111111); at cap it keeps working, stops paying itself |
| WITHOUT / RESTRAININGORDER | the two ban tokens — any balance blocks hub entry and venue chat |
| GWAT (骨) | user-spawned sub-venues — designed, never deployed |
| PKMinter | the wave-7 bridge factory hardcoding the treasury minters; N-of-N ECDSA-signed first mints |
| Xiao | the shared math library slot — the MATH token on every system contract [chain] |
| MotzkinPrime | 953467954114363, the field everything computes over; 2 × Meridians[0] + 5 — map geometry and crypto share it |
Undeployed-layer terms (WORLD, WAR, H2O, VITUS, ENCRYPT, NYM, VMREQ, CABS, the database layer) are documented with their designed loops in the dev reference — each carries a NOT DEPLOYED banner there.
