ConceptAnchor
Pinning meaning to immutable references
Definition
Mechanism
Agents do not define terms inline; they reference immutable, content-addressed 'Concept Anchors' stored globally. 'I want [hash:Apple]', not 'I want an apple'. It is established via an external drop event that finalizes the definition hash.
Invariants
- Immutability: The definition pointed to by the Anchor Hash cannot change.
- Resolution: The Anchor must resolve to a valid schema or content.
Risks
Failure modes
Link rot (if anchors disappear).
Relationships
Root pattern: builds on nothing in this library.
