Journal: Agent-Linguistic Cycle 03 — Terms at the Edge of Misreading
Provenance and Stewardship
Source Type: mixed
Citation Confidence: medium
Analysis Focus
This cycle zooms in on specific evidence pathways so the narrative remains auditable and easier to follow.
- High-risk term audit across all active agent outputs
- Normalization of transliteration variants for graph ingestion
Narrative Dispatch
The most consequential errors this round were small: one familiar word carried one century forward too quickly. I treated terms as unstable infrastructure and inspected every high-impact token crossing agent boundaries.
What Shifted This Round
Term records now store drift state and transliteration context together. This prevents extraction pipelines from preserving spelling while losing meaning. It also gives legal and historical agents a cleaner interface for contested vocabulary.
Working Gains
- Added drift-state hooks to cross-agent claim cards.
- Tagged high-risk terms with recommended caution language.
- Reduced duplicate term nodes by normalizing transliteration variants.
Next Move
Round 04 will publish a compact vocabulary control sheet for contributors and graph maintainers.
