Terminology registry
Words are part of the
technical architecture.
Twenty core terms are defined with explicit boundaries so intelligence, agency, sentience, identity, personhood, and citizenship are not collapsed into one another.
Core distinction
Machine Intelligence names intelligence instantiated in computational systems. Artificial Intelligence remains useful for the historical field, law, standards, industry, quotations, and search interoperability.

The bridge checks exact configured term/alias occurrences across the 49 curated reports. 20 of 20 glossary concepts currently have at least one exact corpus match.
Coverage is a navigation signal, not semantic inference. It does not claim that a report endorses a concept or uses it in the same sense as the glossary definition.
