The house's own wordsCHECKED

What this text rests on: the House glossary page

For someone hearing them for the first time | Word | What it means | Where you see it | | --- | --- | --- | | seal (mühür) | The stamp under an answer: what was measured, what was recalled, what comes next. | under an answer | | receipt (künye) | The answer's account of sources and measurements: which shelf was opened, what could not be read. | at the foot of an answer | | folio (folyo) | An edition number. Every answer and every help text has its own. | in the receipt · at the foot of a page | | edition (kesim) | The published state of a text. When corrected, a new edition appears; the old one is not lost. | in help texts | | gear (vites) | How deep the house digs: five steps, five promises. | coming to the room | | shelf (raf) | Reading scope — which sources are open; attaching a file narrows it. | files · the Sources tab | | hand (el) | Whoever does the work: the house, you, or a second hand that checks. | in the receipt | | gate (kapı) | A check nothing passes without. The house's own discipline. | in the signed report | | counter-search (karşı arama) | The house trying to refute its own finding. | in the receipt | | second reader (dış göz) | A second hand's check of the answer. | in the receipt | | divergence (ayrışma) | When sources conflict, the house takes no side: both are shown and the difference named. | inside an answer | | Pax | The covenant between you and the house. Every article has an "if the house cannot keep this" line. | the Pax page | | Almanak | A printed, numbered yearly volume. The yearly membership's counterpart is an object, not a badge. | the Plans page |

> Some of these places belong to coming releases — the gear rail and the signed report among them. The words are given here so that they are not strangers when they arrive.
