How the base works

One source, three outputs

Rules

1. One term, one entry. If projects interpret a term differently, it is not duplicated; the difference goes into the “discrepancies” field (⚖) and the term gets the “being refined” status.
2. Every claim has a source. In the Pro version, pages and terms carry a “Sources in projects” list: the path to the file where it is written down.
3. New beats old. The latest version is described; earlier ones go into the history, marked as such.
4. Two audiences. “Simple” has no formulas and uses analogies; “Pro” has formulas, code and test numbers.

How projects use it

• People use this site.
• Project sites (s01, cryptotrader, adventu.pro) can pull definitions from /api/terms.json and show a tooltip when you hover over a term.
• AI agents use /var/www/projects/BASE/wiki/GLOSSARY.md: before explaining or changing the logic of segments, STEP, DH or the golden trend, an agent reads the definition here, and if it finds a discrepancy, it proposes an edit to BASE.

Statuses

✓ settled — the same in all projects and in the code. ⟳ being refined — still being aligned: interpretations differ or the rule is under test.

How the base is updated

1. Proposal. An agent in any project (or a person) spots a new term or a different reading in code. It does not edit the glossary; it queues a proposal with bin/wiki-propose, always with a path to the file that proves it.
2. Agent review. Once an hour the reviewer agent (bin/wiki-review) opens the source and decides: apply, reject or leave for a human. An empty queue does not start a model.
3. A human for what matters. Changes to the four core concepts, moving a term to “stable” and rewriting a stable definition always wait for the owner (wiki-review --list / --approve).
4. Publishing is automatic. After a change the site, terms.json and GLOSSARY.md are rebuilt and deployed, and the change log below gets a row. A copy of the glossary before each change is kept in wiki/.history/.

The rules live in wiki/policy.json: agent mode (the agent applies safe changes itself) or human mode (everything goes through the owner).
