INFORMATIVEACTIVEDocumentation Governance

Truth Source: Repository schemas and tests are authoritative.

Glossary

[!NOTE] Navigation Glossary

This page is a reading aid. It does not create a second definition layer for MPLP terms. Formal protocol meaning remains in repository-backed schemas, invariants, approved governance records, and the linked specification/reference pages.

How To Use This Page

Use each row as a pointer:

• Classification tells you which layer the term belongs to.
• Read First tells you where to start for trustworthy meaning.
• When a term is a runtime or evaluation concept, do not read it back into the protocol core unless the specification baseline says so.

Protocol Object Families

Term	Classification	Read First
Context	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-context.schema.json and Context Module
Plan	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-plan.schema.json and Plan Module
Confirm	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-confirm.schema.json and Confirm Module
Trace	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-trace.schema.json and Trace Module
Role	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-role.schema.json and Role Module
Dialog	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-dialog.schema.json and Dialog Module
Collab	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-collab.schema.json and Collab Module
Extension	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-extension.schema.json and Extension Module
Core	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-core.schema.json and Core Module
Network	Protocol object family	Modules Overview, then schemas/v2/mplp-network.schema.json and Network Module

Profiles and Observability

Term	Classification	Read First
SA	Profile baseline	Profiles Overview, then schemas/v2/profiles/sa-profile.yaml and SA Profile
MAP	Profile baseline	Profiles Overview, then schemas/v2/profiles/map-profile.yaml and MAP Profile
Event Family	Observability classification	Observability Overview, then schemas/v2/taxonomy/event-taxonomy.yaml and Event Taxonomy
Invariant	Validation rule family	Protocol Truth Index, then the relevant file under schemas/v2/invariants/
Kernel Duty	Cross-cutting taxonomy term	schemas/v2/taxonomy/kernel-duties.yaml, then Architecture for section-level context

Runtime Concepts

Term	Classification	Read First
PSG	Runtime concept	Runtime Guides, then PSG
AEL	Runtime concept	Runtime Guides, then AEL
VSL	Runtime concept	Runtime Guides, then VSL
Drift Detection	Runtime behavior concept	Runtime Guides, then Drift and Rollback
Runtime Glue	Runtime-oriented guide concept	Runtime Guides, then Runtime Glue Overview

Runtime concepts are not protocol core objects. Read them as implementation realization guidance unless a schema-backed specification page explicitly says otherwise.
