PanLL eNSAID — Glossary

Cross-reference glossary for README.adoc, EXPLAINME.adoc, and the PanLL wiki.

Core concepts

eNSAID

Environment for NeSy-Agentic Integrated Development. Also a deliberate play on NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug): PanLL reduces friction, pain, and strain without curing the underlying condition (complexity). Classification: project-specific (vocabulary).

Human-Things Interface (HTI)

An interface designed for the co-orbit between a human operator and a neurosymbolic machine, as opposed to a Human-Computer Interface (HCI) for humans and deterministic machines. Classification: project-specific (vocabulary).

Cognitive relief

The design intent of reducing unnecessary cognitive overhead (context-switching, explicit prompting, interface friction). PanLL provides mechanisms (Vexometer, Anti-Crash, Contractiles) targeting this intent; it is not a measured psychological guarantee. Classification: project-specific (design intent).

The four panes

Pane-A (Ambient)

Persistent context and environmental support. Maintains continuity, absorbs state, reduces active cognitive management. The background layer. Classification: project-specific.

Pane-L (Symbolic)

Strict logic, types, and constraints. The contractual layer governing inference and action. Designed to consume the Typell verification kernel. "The law." Classification: project-specific.

Pane-N (Neural)

Streaming inference manifold. The agent’s internal monologue, reasoning traces, and OODA-style movement. "The mind." Classification: project-specific.

Pane-W (World)

Central shared canvas. The task barycentre where results, actions, artefacts, and state become visible. "The workbench." Classification: project-specific.

Core systems

Anti-Crash Library

Logical circuit breaker preventing unvalidated neural output from reaching the task barycentre (Pane-W). Gates tokens and requires backend validation before neural suggestions mutate shared state. Classification: project-specific.

Vexometer

Real-time friction and cognitive-load monitoring system. Measures interaction timing, error rates, and undo frequency. Adjusts UI density and prompting frequency to reduce strain. Classification: project-specific.

Contractiles

Adaptive state contracts between operator and machine. Negotiated boundaries for autonomy, intervention, and resource usage. Inspired by biological contractility (adaptive tension). Classification: project-specific.

Feedback-O-Tron

Community-driven performance reporting and constraint suggestion system. Classification: project-specific.

Architecture

TEA (The Elm Architecture)

Model-Update-View pattern implemented in ReScript. Provides strict unidirectional data flow and exhaustive pattern matching across all UI variants. Classification: standard (Elm pattern).

Gossamer

Rust + WebKitGTK webview shell. Provides a lightweight, container-friendly alternative to Electron (~5 MB binary). Classification: standard (Tauri-adjacent technology).

Task barycentre

The central gravitational point of work in PanLL: Pane-W, where artefacts, results, and state converge. Classification: project-specific (vocabulary). Borrowed from physics/astrophysics.
