CB Cowboy Canonical Core framework concepts
D Democracy Governance, democratic systems
E Earth / Ecology Ecological concepts, earth-element terms
F Fire Fire-element terms, purpose, direction
L Learning Pedagogy, learning theory, educational frameworks
M Metal Metal-element terms, structure, boundaries
META Meta-Synthesis Cross-elemental integration patterns
P Psychology Psychology, learning theory
W Water Water-element terms, resonance, connection
WO Wood Wood-element terms, growth, exploration

How Tags Work

Every SIML term receives a globally unique hex tag:

  • Format: #PREFIX + NUMBER (e.g., #A001, #W005, #META003)
  • Tags are assigned sequentially within each prefix
  • The next_available field tracks the next open slot
  • Tags never reuse — even if a term is deprecated, its tag remains reserved

Using Tags

Reference any term by its hex tag:

  • In text: #A001 refers to the Pneuma entry
  • In nemetic strings: tags:#A001
  • In thread encoding: tags:#A001,#W005
  • For lookup: find the term folder at SIML/terms/{TAG}_{name}/
