🌟 Canonical Summary#

This glossary unifies the entire Triadic lineage by treating every historical artifact — hardware, software, UI, music, and code — as expressions of substrate, flow, resonance, and dimensionality.
It is the reference backbone for your mythos, the Rosetta Stone of the Triadic worldview.
