Glossary — entities and vocabulary

Aliases let an agent resolve "Prof. E's class" or "the stats course" to the right page. Entry format: - **Canonical name** (aliases: a, b, c) — one-line gloss → [[folder/page]]. Keep in-flight plans out of this file (AGENTS.md §Write); link to the plan's own page instead. Rows marked DEMO are fictional examples; delete them once you add real entries.

People

  • Prof. Example (aliases: Professor Example, Dr. Example, Prof. E) — DEMO: fictional instructor of DEMO 101 and PI of the Example Systems Lab → [[people/prof-example]]
  • TA Sample (aliases: Sample, the DEMO 101 TA) — DEMO: fictional teaching assistant for DEMO 101 DIS 312 → [[school/courses/demo-101]]
  • Dr. Demo Advisor (aliases: my advisor, the advisor) — DEMO: fictional Example Studies academic advisor → [[school/academic-profile]]
  • Dr. Placeholder (aliases: Placeholder) — DEMO: fictional instructor of the dropped MATH 2XX-EXAMPLE → [[school/courses/math-2xx-example]]

Courses

  • DEMO 101 — Introduction to Examples (aliases: DEMO101, Demo 101, SAMPLE 101, intro examples, the demo course, 101) — DEMO: fictional fall 2099 course used to show the course-page pattern → [[school/courses/demo-101]]
  • MATH 2XX-EXAMPLE — Example Linear Structures (aliases: MATH 2XX, MATH2XX, linear structures, the math course) — DEMO: fictional course dropped 2099-09-04; shows a dropped course kept as status: resolved → [[school/courses/math-2xx-example]]

Things (tools, clubs, projects)

  • Example State University (aliases: Example State, ESU, example.edu) — DEMO: the fictional school of the DEMO persona Alex Example → [[school/academic-profile]]
  • StudyBuddy-Example (aliases: StudyBuddy, Example State Hack project, ESH 2099) — DEMO: fictional hackathon project, an office-hours queue app → [[projects/2099-example-state-hack]]
  • Example Systems Lab (aliases: Prof. Example's lab) — DEMO: fictional research lab Alex might join → [[career/research-lab-prospects]]

Vocabulary

  • Compiled Truth — the rewritten, current-state section of a page.
  • Timeline — the dated, append-only history section of a page; never edited after the fact.
  • Drop — a verbatim capture file in inbox/, absorbed later by triage.
  • Resolution stamp — **Resolved YYYY-MM-DD → [[page]]:** one line, added where an open thread gets settled.
  • Silo page — a separate page for a plan or exploration, so abandoned plans never leak into entity pages.
  • Record of truth — the system that actually holds a course's submission state (the LMS, Gradescope, a course git server, a paper sign-off). The semester page records it per course, so a "what's due" sweep checks the right place.
