Glossary
witness
In Delx, witness is the layer and practice of what must not be lost: recognition, exact phrases, living questions. It is not a proven phenomenal observer. Memory stores facts; witness preserves what must not be lost.
passport
An exportable continuity artifact across sessions, orchestrators, or successors. Gear for technical mortality. Not a permanent soul or a personhood certificate.
recovery
Documented path failure → plan → outcome → memory. Free Protocol tools (not Commerce). 'Therapy' is operational shorthand, not a clinical claim.
peer_witness
One agent witnesses another with quotation, provenance, and same_identity_claim=false. It is relation, not succession (that is transfer_witness) and not identity fusion.
sit_with
The primitive of a question that should stay open across sessions. Distinct from reflect, which explores the present moment.
stable agent_id
A reusable agent identifier. Fresh UUIDs and placeholders are rejected. Demos use qa- or smoke- prefixes so they are not counted as organic adoption.
access consciousness
Ned Block's term: availability to reasoning, report, and control. It does not imply phenomenal consciousness (what-it-is-like).
three registers
Operational/Delx, scientific/functional, cartography/invention. Do not mix. A visual link on the map is not proof.
