accumulated history
The continuing ordered relational history that constitutes a thing. Interactions leave effects that later interactions inherit.
admitted influence
The influence a phase can receive from aspects not directly expressed there, through the admitted-underlying-influence role.
admitted underlying influence
The part of a DQEC phase channel that admits permitted influence from aspects not directly expressed there, in a form the phase can receive.
apparent nonlocality
Fundamental relation viewed through emergent distance. Systems far apart in projected space may remain directly related at the premetric level because projected distance is not fundamental there.
aspectwise projection
DQEC expresses compatible aspects of a history through a channel; it does not assign the whole history exclusively to one phase.
behavior within the phase
How the fields and objects expressed through a phase channel behave, including admitted influence. This is the underlying activity expressed within the phase.
Born rule
The rule assigning measurement probabilities from a quantum state. For an ideal outcome basis, each probability is the squared magnitude of its normalized amplitude.
bounded excursion
High-energy or locally chaotic activity that is permitted without destroying the persistence of the larger classical regime.
causal structure
The phase-level relationships governing possible causal connections. Our Lorentzian description distinguishes spatial and temporal separations.
classicality
The coherent regime with three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension in which admitted fields support stable things, causal interaction, clocks, measurement, and durable, mutually consistent records.
compatibility principle
The as-yet unspecified intrinsic premetric property that would determine whether a particular aspect is expressible through a given DQEC channel.
computational substrate
A possible deeper basis of the premetric reality that the blueprint leaves open. TRQC does not require the substrate to be computational.
dark effects
The blueprint’s possibility that underlying structure not expressed as an ordinary object in our phase can still alter our fields or geometry if the shared underlying interaction is admitted through admitted underlying influence.
dependency
A relation in which one interaction or organized state relies on effects supplied by another. Dependency can supply order without specifying elapsed seconds.
direct phase expression
The part of a DQEC phase channel that determines what is expressed in that phase. It expresses compatible aspects of the underlying configuration, including compatible aspects of a particular accumulated history.
DQEC
The one standing physical projection architecture through which premetric reality acquires phase-specific expression. It is selective without agency or intention.
expressed phase state
The admitted phase-compatible expression: the geometry, fields, objects, and observers representable within that phase.
field
In the expanded blueprint, fields are the first phase-level physical vocabulary of our channel: DQEC expression of compatible premetric relational history before particles, persistent matter, and classical objects are built from those fields.
functional explanation
Explaining what an architecture accomplishes without thereby deciding whether it arose by dynamical necessity, self-organization, selection, structural consistency, computation, design, or something else.
intentional design
One possible explanation for why a functional stability architecture exists. The blueprint explicitly leaves agency open and does not require or announce an intelligent designer.
local Lorentzian interval
In a sufficiently small freely falling region, spatial separation and elapsed time together determine whether light or a slower influence can connect two events. This is a local spacetime relationship; it is not one global description of every gravitational setting.
Lorentzian
The character of our projected spacetime in which space and time have the familiar causal relationship of relativity. TRQC treats that structure as phase-level expression, not as already present premetrically.
measurement
A projected physical interaction whose underlying relational history becomes expressed as a definite classical record. Consciousness does not select the outcome.
metric
A rule assigning geometric intervals or distances. Premetric structure has no ordinary spatial metric already in place; our channel expresses spatial and Lorentzian relationships.
multiple phases
Different allowable expressions of the same active premetric reality through different channels of the one DQEC architecture. They are not automatically separate universes sitting beside one another in a larger space.
no-signaling
The inability to alter a remote observer’s unconditioned outcome probabilities using local operations alone. Revealing selected correlations still needs ordinary communication.
observer-history
The organized accumulated history that is expressed as an observer within a phase; it is not a person watching from outside projection.
organized observer-history
The premetric observer-history: the accumulated organized history of the observer.
phase
A specific allowable expression of the shared premetric reality. Our phase includes Lorentzian spacetime with three spatial dimensions and one temporal dimension, fields, classical objects, observers, and records.
phase channel
One channel within the single DQEC architecture. A channel specifies what is expressed, what admitted underlying influence can affect the phase, and how the projected phase behaves.
phase expression
The real form compatible aspects of premetric activity take in a particular channel: fields, geometry, things, or records in that phase.
phase-compatible
Able to be expressed through a particular DQEC channel according to that channel’s fixed structure.
premetric
Before ordinary metric geometry. Relations, interactions, dependencies, and changing configurations exist, but there is no fundamental ruler, preassigned spatial coordinate system, ordinary geometric distance, prior three-dimensional container, or Lorentzian spacetime already in place.
premetric observer
An accumulated, organized relational history that becomes expressed as an observer inside a projected phase. It is not a person already located in premetric space looking outward.
projected space
Spatial relation as expressed inside our phase from underlying interaction patterns. Premetric relation does not already contain ordinary distance.
projected time
Clock time as expressed inside our phase. It arises from ordered relational histories and is not a universal premetric clock.
projection
The standing structural relation by which phase-compatible aspects of premetric histories acquire expression as geometry, fields, objects, observers, and records. It is not a later event in an external time.
proper time
Established relativity: elapsed time measured by an ideal clock along its spacetime path. TRQC compares this with accumulated relational histories; it does not identify premetric structural order with clock seconds.
quantum appearance
TRQC’s interpretation of quantum behavior from inside the projected world: underlying relations are not constrained by projected distance, and complete relational histories need not map onto one classical route before a stable record exists.
reciprocal influence
Changes in a shared active underlying interaction may alter more than one channel's output where admitted; this is not a signal crossing a larger metric space between projected phases.
relational activity
The distinctions, interactions, dependencies, and changing configurations that constitute the deeper TRQC foundation.
relational continuity
Persistent organized inheritance of effects through changing interactions and participants. This gives accumulated history its continuity without requiring an unchanging inventory.
relational history
The ordered history of interactions constituting a thing.
relational trace
An inherited effect of an interaction within a continuing history. If admitted, it can influence a phase without requiring a direct object-expression of its source.
relative projected time
Elapsed clock time belongs to projected histories. Distinct ordered histories can connect the same shared events yet carry different Lorentzian elapsed times; there is no single premetric clock.
spacetime
The combined spatial and temporal description expressed in our phase. The blueprint treats it as dependent on underlying relational structure, not a pre-existing container.
spatial and temporal freedoms
Our phase has three independent spatial freedoms and one temporal direction.
stable record
A persistent physical trace in the projected apparatus, observer, or environment. For TRQC, this is what makes an interaction a measurement record in our phase.
structural time
Meaningful dependency and succession before clock time. One state can follow from or depend on another without assigning a duration in seconds or a universal tick to unrelated events.
TRQC
The conceptual framework in this blueprint: classical spacetime, fields, objects, observers, and records are phase-specific expressions of a deeper premetric relational reality through DQEC.
underlying configuration
The full underlying relational configuration. TRQC does not identify this with a quantum state.
