Flow & Causality β (Causes): Direct, linear causation.
β (Cascade): A causal chain where one effect triggers multiple others.
β’ (Counterfactual): A hypothetical causal link; "what if."
β (Feedback): A mutual, two-way causal relationship.
β³ (Reinforcing): A feedback loop that amplifies change (positive feedback).
β² (Stabilizing): A feedback loop that resists change (negative feedback).
β‘ (Trigger): An event or impulse that initiates a flow or process.
Ξ¦ (Flow): A general, unclassified flow, field, or quantity.
State & Relationship β (Synergy): Elements working together, enhancing each other.
β (Conflict): Elements working against each other, creating friction.
β (Blocks): One element actively prevents another from occurring.
β (Void/Absence): A lack, gap, or missing component.
Logic & Intent β΄ (Therefore): Logical conclusion.
β’ (Evidences): The preceding statement is evidenced by the following.
β£ (Supports): The preceding statement is supported by the following.
β (Analogous): Structurally similar or comparable.
: (Telos/Intent): Defines purpose; "in order to" or "is designed to."
β (Is-A-Type-Of): Ontological classification (e.g., P3 β {Limiting_Belief}).
= (Is-Composed-Of): Defines a set's components (e.g., M2 = {Tracker, Goals}).
Structure & Boundaries β (Core): The central, fundamental element of a system.
[bound] (Hard Boundary): A rigid constraint or scope.
{set} (Set): A collection or group of related elements.
(soft) (Soft Boundary): A flexible or permeable grouping.
β (Possible): A potential or uncertain element/path.
Change & Transformation β³ (Delta): A general change, transformation, or "delta."
β (Increase): An increase in magnitude or intensity.
β (Decrease): A decrease in magnitude or intensity.
β¬ (Cycle): A recurring pattern or cycle.
β (Phase Change Up): A sudden, non-linear shift to a new state (tipping point).
β (Phase Change Down): A sudden, non-linear collapse or state shift.
Meta & Status β» (Attention): Marks a point of focus or importance.
β§ (Split): A process of divergence.
β (Merge): A process of convergence.
β (Agency): A point of control, choice, or active agency.
β (Validated): A confirmed or validated state/element.
β (Warning): A potential risk or point of failure.
β (Constraint): A passive constraint or rule (less active than β).
β‘ (Emergence): A label for an emergent property or state.
Modifiers attach to elements or operators.
Element Modifiers (ElementΛ’) Domain Layers:
α΅ (Emotional)
αΆ (Cognitive)
Κ³ (Relational)
Λ’ (Spatial)
α΅ (Temporal)
α΅βΏ (Energetic)
Intensity Scale:
ΒΉ (Mild)
Β² (Moderate)
Β³ (Intense)
β΄ (Overwhelming)
Time Scale (Temporal Domain):
α΅β° (Now)
α΅ΒΉ (Days)
α΅Β² (Weeks)
α΅Β³ (Years)
α΅β΄ (Lifetime)
Modal Logic (Status):
βΏ (Necessary / Must)
α΅ (Obligatory / Ought)
(Possibility is handled by the β operator)
Subjectivity/Attribution (Postfix): (Expression)@agent
Used to attribute a perception or statement to an agent (e.g., @me, @boss).
Example: (A β B)@me (I perceive a conflict between A and B).
Operator Modifiers (OperatorΛ’) Probability (Superscript on Flow): βΛ’
Denotes the likelihood of a causal link.
Example: A ββ·β° B (A has a 70% chance of causing B).
Pervasive Fields (Prefix) ~ (Pervasive Field): A prefix to denote a non-agentic, ambient field.
Example: ~(High_Trust) β (A β B) (A field of high trust conduces to A and B's synergy).
Precedence: FLOW > STATE > SCOPE
Causal operators (β, β, etc.) bind more tightly than state operators (β, β).
Example: A β B β C is parsed as A β (B β C).
Parentheses: ( )
Used to override default precedence or group expressions for clarity.
Example: (A β B) β C (The process of A causing B is in conflict with C).
Scope Modifiers: X@context
Modifiers (like @me or domain superscripts α΅) attach to the single, nearest element or expression.
Example: Aα΅ β B is parsed as (Aα΅) β B.
Evidence & Logic Operators: β’, β£, β΄, :
These operators connect full expressions or statements.
Example: (A β B) β£ C (The feedback loop between A and B is supported by C).
Metacognition (Applying Change to Expressions):
Core operators like β³ (Change) and β (Agency) can be applied to entire, grouped expressions.
Example: β : β³(S1 β β(C1)) (My agency is for the purpose of changing the relationship 'S1 blocks C1').
Emergence as Process:
The emergence symbol can be used as a flow operator to show a process.
Example: {A β B β C} β‘β D (The complex interaction of A, B, and C emergently causes D).
