Naei
Individual units of preserved meaning.
Observations, distinctions, questions, assumptions, patterns, and other artifacts that survived long enough to be recorded.
MEANING UNDER TRANSFORMATION
The Archive preserves meaning under transformation. Its contents are organized using two primitives.
Individual units of preserved meaning.
Observations, distinctions, questions, assumptions, patterns, and other artifacts that survived long enough to be recorded.
Persistent centers of meaning formed through related naei.
Nexi are not collections. They are the reason multiple naei repeatedly appear connected.
The Archive is not a museum.
It is a record of movement.
It preserves how meaning changes over time: what appeared, what survived, what weakened, what contradicted itself, and what later became structure.
Instead of treating knowledge as a final snapshot, the Archive keeps provenance beside state.
Meaning changes.
The history of those changes is preserved alongside the current state.
