GLOSSARY
| Term | Description |
| -------------- | ----------- |
| abstract | Participants learn the protocol by studying it intellectually |
| alive | Actively utilized by relevant participants |
| centrist | The analyst tended toward readings at the middle of the gradients |
| contested | Content and meaning are disputed or under debate |
| crystallized | Content and meaning are settled and widely agreed upon |
| dead | Not actively utilized by relevant participants |
| defensible | Strong boundaries and protections against external influence |
| documenting | The primary purpose is to document or validate activity that is occurring |
| durable | Designed to be persistently available |
| embodied | Participants learn the protocol by physically practicing it |
| emergent | Produces unexpected or novel outcomes |
| enabling | The primary purpose is to enable activity that might not happen otherwise |
| enforced | Rules require external enforcement by authorities or institutions |
| ephemeral | Designed to vanish when no longer needed |
| exclusion | The protocol creates barriers or excludes certain participants |
| explicit | The design is stated explicitly somewhere that is accessible to participants |
| exposed | Weak boundaries and vulnerable to external influence |
| flocking | Coordination occurs through centralized direction or direct mimicry |
| hardness | The protocol tends toward properties characterized by hardness |
| implicit | The design is not stated explicitly but is learned by participants in another way |
| inclusion | The protocol reduces barriers and includes diverse participants |
| institutional | Design occurs through processes that involve powerful institutions and widespread recognition as normative |
| insufficient | Does not, on its own, adequately meet the needs and goals of participants |
| interpretive | The design is ambiguous, allowing participants a wide range of interpretation |
| Kafka | Fosters experiences of absurd complexity, alienation, and powerlessness |
| macro | Operates at large scales involving many participants or broad scope |
| malleable | Designed to be changed by participants according to evolving needs |
| micro | Operates at small scales with few participants or narrow scope |
| monopolistic | Excludes the use of other protocols that might be available to adopt |
| not useful | The bicorder was not useful or relevant for analyzing this protocol |
| obligatory | Participation is compulsory for a certain class of agents |
| particular | Addressed to a specific community |
| pluralistic | Interoperates with other protocols and does not exclude their use |
| polarized | The analyst tended toward more extreme high or low readings |
| precise | The design is specified with a high level of precision that eliminates ambiguity in implementation |
| predictable | Produces expected and consistent outcomes |
| self-enforcing | Rules are automatically enforced through its own mechanisms |
| social | Primarily concerned with interactions among people or groups |
| softness | The protocol tends toward properties characterized by softness |
| sovereign | A distinctive operating logic, not subject to any other entity |
| static | Designed to be as fixed and unchanging as possible |
| subsidiary | An operating logic under the control of a particular entity |
| sufficient | Adequately meets the needs and goals of participants |
| swarming | Coordination occurs through distributed interactions without central direction |
| technical | Primarily concerned with interactions among technologies |
| trust-evading | Minimizes the need for trust among participants |
| trust-inducing | Relies on or cultivates trust among participants |
| universal | Addressed to a global audience |
| vernacular | Design occurs through evolving, peer-to-peer community interactions in order to suit participant-defined goals |
| very useful | The bicorder was very useful and relevant for analyzing this protocol |
| voluntary | Participation in the protocol is optional and not coerced |
| Whitehead | Enables participants to carry out desired activities with less work or thought |
