POST 1 — Note on Terminology

Title: Before we argue — here is my dictionary

I am working on a book — Manifesto of the Right Act. Before I post excerpts, I need to give you my dictionary. Otherwise we will argue about words, not about ideas.

In my system these words do NOT mean what they mean in everyday English:

Relation — not a relationship between two people. Relation is what is primary. Subject, object and choice appear inside it, not before it.

Status — not social status, not rank. Status is the position the relation itself assigns to you. You do not choose it. You discover it.

In-between — the space of the relation itself. Neither subject nor object. Most of our life happens there, but we have no word for it, so we keep asking: “What do I feel?” instead of “In what relation did this arise?”

Co-directionality — movement in the same direction as the vector already set by the relation. Not agreement. Not alignment. Not compromise. You do not invent the direction. You see it and fall into it — or you resist it.

Concluding frame — the limit-form revealed when everything superficial in a relation falls away. What remains when the noise is gone.

That is the whole system in five words. Everything else in the book is just unfolding them.

If you want to argue, argue with these definitions. I am curious: which of these five feels the most wrong to you — and why?

Full manuscript is being prepared for publication. Working version — on PhilPapers / Zenodo.
