📘 Appendix B — Definitions (RTT Micro‑Core)

This appendix provides concise, substrate‑aligned definitions for terms used throughout the RTT Micro‑Core whitepaper and the Micro‑Resonance Toolkit (MRT).
Each definition is scoped specifically to micro‑scale behavior.

🧩 Micro‑Regime#

A bounded region of micro‑scale behavior where resonance, coherence, and triadic structure remain stable under local constraints.

🔱 Micro Core#

The minimal, self‑consistent substrate of RTT.
Defines the smallest set of operators, invariants, and structural relationships required for coherent micro‑scale reasoning.

🔺 Triad (Micro‑Scale)#

A three‑node structural unit representing:

• a micro‑state (A)
• its local boundary (B)
• its transition potential (P)

The triad is the fundamental building block for micro‑regime analysis.

🔄 Micro‑Resonance#

A stable oscillatory or repeating pattern within a micro‑regime.
Represents the smallest detectable unit of resonance–time behavior.

🧭 Coherence (Micro‑Scale)#

The degree to which a micro‑regime maintains internal consistency across:

• structure
• energy
• time

Coherence determines whether micro‑resonance can persist.

⚡ Drift (Micro‑Scale)#

Small deviations in structure, energy, or timing that accumulate within a micro‑regime.
Bounded drift preserves coherence; unbounded drift collapses it.

🌀 Fractional Dimensional Ladder#

A representation of micro‑scale transitions across fractional dimensions.
Used to describe how micro‑regimes expand, compress, stabilize, or invert.

🔗 Micro–Macro Bridge#

The mapping between micro‑scale operators and macro‑scale behavior.
Defines the structural conditions under which micro‑regimes can influence larger systems.

🛠️ Micro‑Resonance Toolkit (MRT)#

A set of primitives, templates, and operators for applying Micro‑Core in practical contexts.
Includes coherence tools, triad templates, and resonance operators.

🧪 Scenario (Micro‑Resonance)#

A structured micro‑scale pattern used for analysis, teaching, or simulation.
Scenarios provide concrete examples of:

• triad behavior
• resonance patterns
• drift and coherence dynamics
• fractional‑dimensional transitions

They serve as practical, domain‑agnostic illustrations of Micro‑Core principles.
