# Terminology and Ownership Matrix

Version: `0.1.0`
Status: `CANDIDATE DECISION RECORD`

| Proposed term | Disposition | Owner | Non-collapse |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graph Source | alias for `GRAPH_DEFINITION` plus provenance | Graphus or local topology contract | source file != authority |
| Graph Pattern | optional view `GRAPH_PATTERN_VIEW` | profile/extraction layer | pattern != edge set != instance |
| Graph Instance | existing contextual `GRAPHUS_INSTANCE`, or local instance when explicitly non-Graphus | Graphus/local contract | definition != instance |
| Graph Run | `GRAPH_RUN_RECORD`, development-only interface | SATOR trace surface | run != OPERA execution |
| Node/Locus | declared carrier | definition owner | locus != OPERA |
| Port | endpoint sub-address | definition owner | port != edge |
| Connection | structural adjacency | edge-set/local topology owner | connection != transition |
| Directed Transition | directional availability over a connection | ROTAS/profile | available != admitted |
| ROTA | traversal regime | ROTAS | ROTA != path/run |
| visitation_signature | ordered intent/evidence | Graphus instance | signature != executable walk |
| candidate_plan | proposed ordered work | planning surface | plan != AREPO decision |
| execution_result | OPERA output | OPERA | result != run history |
| state_delta | typed change evidence | producing OPERA/run recorder | repeated visit without delta != progress |
| PERCURSUS | not adopted; optional candidate for run record | undecided | must not replace ROTA |
| HABITUS | not adopted; optional external preference profile | undecided | preference != topology |

`RUN_SURFACE`, `RETURN`, `REVISIT`, `JUNCTION`, `CROSSING_NON_JUNCTION`, `PARENT`, `CHILD`, `INVOCATION`, `BRANCH`, `FORK`, `RE_ENTRY`, and `RESUME` are schema fields or typed events, not new root classes.
