Abstract

This working paper introduces the foundational terminology of the Philosophy of the Threshold (Philosophia liminalis). The text establishes a stable conceptual vocabulary through a multilingual glossary that presents Latin reference terms together with their operational correspondents in Portuguese, German, and English. By introducing this terminological structure, the paper provides the conceptual infrastructure necessary for the articulation and further development of the philosophical framework. The glossary also outlines the methodological architecture known as the Register Topology (Topologia registri), which analyzes how operatory configurations generate non-fits, namely tensions and threshold-situations, how they produce effects, and how such effects become stabilized through inscription and circulation within registers. The conceptual sequence presented in the paper describes the structural circuit through which operative stabilization occurs within relational configurations. By stabilizing the key terms of the framework, this glossary functions as a methodological point of departure for further analytical developments within the Philosophy of the Threshold. As the first terminological stabilization of the conceptual vocabulary of Philosophia liminalis, it establishes a reference framework for subsequent working papers within the broader research program on modal-relational ontology and the Register Topology.
