SilverSight Glossary

A living dictionary of terms used across the SilverSight core, libraries, documentation, and receipts.

Rule: Every entry must name the authoritative source file or module. A glossary entry without a source module is a draft; it must be promoted to a bound definition before it is used in a receipt or gate.

Deep Wiki Compatible: Each entry includes File:Line references, tags for categorization, and cross-references to related terms.

Standard Terminology Crosswalk

SilverSight invents names only when necessary. When a concept already exists under a standard name, the glossary binds the SilverSight name to the standard name and explains the delta.

SilverSight Term	Standard Terminology	Delta / Note	File:Line	Tags	See Also
Sidon set	B₂ sequence, Erdős–Sidon set	Standard combinatorial object; SilverSight uses it for deterministic strand addressing.	formal/CoreFormalism/SidonSets.lean:L1	#mathematical #core	Sidon label
Sidon label	Sidon-set element, B₂ address	Chosen from the canonical powers-of-2 set for 8-strand braids.	formal/CoreFormalism/InteractionGraphSidon.lean:L1	#mathematical #core	Sidon set
Q16_16	Fixed-point arithmetic, Q15.16 / s16.16	Signed 32-bit fixed point with 16 integer and 16 fractional bits.	Core/SilverSight/FixedPoint.lean:L1	#core #implementation	Q0_16
BraidStorm	Braid group representation, Artin braid	8-strand braid action used as a compression/determinism substrate.	formal/CoreFormalism/BraidEigensolid.lean:L1	#mathematical #core	eigensolid
eigensolid	Fixed point, attractor	Fixed point of the crossStep operator; not a physical solid.	formal/CoreFormalism/BraidEigensolid.lean:L42	#mathematical #core	crossStep
crossStep	Braid generator / crossing operator	One deterministic update step in the braid dynamics.	formal/CoreFormalism/BraidCross.lean:L1	#mathematical #core	eigensolid
AVM	Abstract/virtual machine, stack machine	SilverSight-specific instruction set and transition relation.	Core/SilverSightCore.lean:L1	#core #implementation	TIC
TIC	Logical clock, event counter	Monotone counter derived from AVM transitions.	Core/SilverSightCore.lean:L1	#core #implementation	AVM

How to Add or Update an Entry

1. Add a row to the appropriate table
2. Make the File:Line column point at the exact file and line number
3. Add relevant Tags for categorization
4. Add See Also links to related terms using #anchor format
5. Run python3 -m py_compile on any touched Python and lake build on any touched Lean
