- Individuation The operation by which a determinate something precipitates from a metastable field — not the selection of an option, but the installation of a regime that did not exist as an option. R1 ·→
- Metastability A regime that occupies a local minimum in a free-energy landscape but carries unresolved potentials capable of crossing a threshold and installing a new regime. R1 ·→
- The Virtual Real but not yet actual — the structured field of potentials whose resolution would install regimes the prior register cannot describe. R1 ·→
- Transduction The irreversible resolution of a metastable field through which a new regime — with its own vocabulary, norms, and conditions of failure — precipitates. R1 ·→
