# Weird Concepts Sub-Glossary
This companion glossary collects the stranger Research Stack terms in one
place. It is intentionally a field guide, not a replacement for
`GLOSSARY.md`: each entry gives the evocative name, the neutral technical
meaning, the stack role, and the best current evidence surface.
The rule is simple: weird names are allowed when they help retrieval, but every
weird name must collapse to an inspectable mechanism, invariant, or gate.
| Concept | Neutral technical meaning | Stack role | Evidence surface |

| **Fuck Your Couch** | Retired/operator-facing alias for the COUCH equation family, especially F-Number COUCH and Route-Pressure COUCH. | Search handle only; formal docs should use `F-Number COUCH`, `U-Rotated COUCH Value`, `Y-Axis O-Step COUCH Container`, or `Route-Pressure COUCH Gate`. | `Semantics.CouchFilterNormalization`, `COUCH_EQUATION.md` |

## Reading Rule
If a term sounds like mythology, poetry, or hardware folklore, translate it
before promotion:
1. Name the neutral mechanism.
2. Name the invariant or gate.
3. Name the receipt surface.
4. Mark unknown expansions as unresolved instead of filling them with vibes.
