                   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 or meaning are disputed or under debate |
| crystallized   | Content or meaning are settled and widely agreed upon |
| dead           | Not actively utilized by relevant participants |
| defensible     | Strong boundaries and protections against external influence |
| documenting    | Intended 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       | Intended 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      | Creates barriers or excludes certain participants |
| explicit       | 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 |
| formal         | Exhibits bureaucratic characteristics with centralized control and predictable enforcement |
| hardness       | The protocol tends toward properties characterized by hardness |
| implicit       | Design is not stated explicitly and is learned by use |
| inclusion      | Reduces barriers and includes diverse participants |
| informal       | Exhibits relational characteristics with distributed coordination embedded in culture |
| institutional  | Design occurs through processes controlled by powerful institutions |
| interpretive   | Ambiguous design, allowing participants a wide range of interpretation |
| liberating     | Enables participants to carry out desired activities with less work or thought |
| limited        | Does not, on its own, adequately meet the needs and goals of participants |
| 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 with similar purposes |
| not useful     | The bicorder was not useful or relevant for analyzing this protocol |
| obligatory     | Compulsory participation for a certain class of agents |
| particular     | Tailored for 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        | Specified with a high level of precision that eliminates ambiguity in implementation |
| predictable    | Produces expected and consistent outcomes |
| restraining    | Fosters experiences of absurd complexity, alienation, and powerlessness |
| self-enforcing | Rules 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      | Meant for global adoption across different communities |
| vernacular     | Design occurs through evolving community interactions |
| very useful    | The bicorder was very useful and relevant for analyzing this protocol |
| voluntary      | Participation is optional and not coerced |
