B
Bifurcated Telemetry Doctrine
The separation between safety-critical physical monitoring and billing-linked occupancy telemetry. The first protects the asset; the second authenticates a funding path.
C
Capital Arbitrage
The fully loaded per-resident cost comparison between the SDI prototype and a jurisdiction-specific municipal baseline, including amortized debt rather than operating expense alone.
D
Dignity Stack
The sequential MDI → RDI → EDI architecture: material stabilization, relational infrastructure, and economic reintegration.
D
Dunbar Pod
A residential community capped at 150 combined residents and permanent on-site staff. With 34 staff, the current derivation yields 116 residents per pod.
G
Ghost Variable Problem
The updated term for an apparent funded unit or metric that cannot be physically or functionally verified in reality.
G
Ground Floor Intake Airlock
The controlled intake environment for screening, hygiene, clothing, nutrition, clinical triage, and immediate placement.
I
Identity Capital
Self-efficacy, narrative continuity, professional identity, and agentive capacity rebuilt through protected participation.
M
Material Dignity Infrastructure (MDI)
The physical stabilization layer that activates surplus commercial capacity and provides the biological baseline.
P
Philanthropic Set-Aside
Independent capital reserved for residents who decline billing-linked telemetry, allowing housing to continue through another funding mechanism.
P
Pod Steward
A trained relational-support role maintaining the specification's 1:7 steward-to-resident ratio.
R
Relational Dignity Infrastructure (RDI)
The social architecture that preserves bonds and supports identity restoration through the housing transition.
R
Return Deficit
The wage, credentialing, and narrative penalty that makes direct transition into market tenancy unstable without an internal bridge.
S
Singular Prototype Threshold
The requirement that one independently evaluated three-pod prototype pass seven binary metrics at the 365-day window before expansion.
T
Tenancy Bridge Guarantee
The proposed mechanism for underwriting the first twelve months of independent market-rate tenancy after graduation.
Z
Zero-Knowledge Billing Firewall
A proposed separation layer that validates billing-relevant physical occupancy without exposing resident identity or giving either the remote software team or local operator unilateral control.
