The complete source apparatus from the manuscript.
Signal
Information available to the system now: external input, internal sensation, emotion, context, or active cue. A retrieved trace can function as a present signal once it becomes active.
Orientation
What the system is currently for: safety, connection, status, completion, escape, repair, prediction, or another organizing aim.
Unrecorded gap
A protected space in which experience is not fixed into a durable, searchable, or externally governed trace. The term names a chosen boundary; missing records that protect institutional failure or abuse are not redeemed by the same name.
Social archive
Traces held by other people and groups: shared memories, reputations, stories, roles, expectations, and recognition. It can restore missing context or enforce a fixed identity.
