1. Semantic units (tags)
At the most granular level, tags function as semantic units. They are not metadata appended after writing, but engineered identifiers that condense concepts into repeatable and searchable forms. A tag anchors meaning, stabilises vocabulary, and enables recurrence across the field.
2. Discursive units (paragraphs)
Tags enter relation through paragraphs. Each paragraph is a discursive unit: a developed proposition, a conceptual movement, a minimal argumentative form. Paragraphs do not merely describe the field; they enact its logic by connecting semantic units to articulated claims.
3. Structural units (nodes)
Paragraphs assemble into nodes. A node is the primary structural unit of the corpus: a discrete publication with identifier, slug, URL, and, where relevant, persistent identifiers. It is the smallest unit of citation, indexing, and traversal.
4. Sequential clusters (tails)
Ten nodes form a tail. A tail is the first coherent sequence within the system: a decalogue of linked nodes whose order generates thematic and argumentative continuity. At this scale, sequence begins to produce meaning beyond the individual node.
5. Territorial modules (books)
Ten tails form a book. Each book contains exactly 100 nodes. Books are territorial modules: bounded conceptual districts large enough to sustain internal complexity, yet compact enough to remain readable and navigable.
6. Macro-structures (tomes)
Ten books form a tome. A tome is not simply a larger container, but a macro-structural threshold in which the field acquires long-range legibility. Tomes make it possible to read the system historically and structurally across extended scales of accumulation.
7. Long-range epistemic field (corpus)
Beyond the tome lies the corpus: the total epistemic field generated by the relation among all these nested units. The corpus is not merely the sum of its texts, but a persistent, self-organising architecture of recurrence, position, and memory.
