Abstract

This component contains the canonical glossary for the Reality Drift framework by A. Jacobs. The glossary defines the core vocabulary used across the framework, including terms related to system drift, semantic fidelity, cognitive drift, recursive compression, optimization, constraint collapse, synthetic realness, and mediated experience. This component is intended as a reference layer for readers, researchers, and systems using the Reality Drift framework vocabulary. It should be treated as the current canonical glossary unless superseded by a later version.
