News / Carrier Wikipedia wave 2
Carrier’s checked vocabulary has grown from 4,089 to 4,414 concepts. The newly approved 325-concept edition concentrates on distinctions that make an expression easier to inspect, qualify and question.
The additions span physical systems, mathematical expression, living systems, public decisions, evidence, data contracts, language, institutions, philosophy and religious thought. They draw on 1,037 distinct selected passages from 315 Wikipedia article revisions, within a retained corpus of 331 captures.
What becomes easier to say
A shared protocol need not imply a shared ontology. A steady water level can coexist with continuing flow. A permission and a possibility can use the same everyday word while committing their speakers to different things. A well-formed data record can still carry a mistaken claim.
The edition supplies reusable references for these differences. Definitions keep their qualifications; connections remain contextual unless a separate expression supplies a stronger relationship and its reasons.
From entries to messages
The accompanying public atlas includes 19 authored before/after comparisons and 38 locally encoded USL1 messages. Their 185 actual concept-token occurrences are preserved in the downloadable record. Local checks established successful recovery of the encoded examples; this was not an independent comparison of AI interpretations, a compression benchmark or a test of every new concept.
The messages were first composed and checked before promotion. For publication, the same authored text was encoded again using the approved checked definitions. These are new packet bytes with updated pins, not a second independent interpretation experiment.
Following up the earlier map
The second wave revisited 66 distinct editorial leads from the first. Sixty now have newly approved selections; three are served by existing definitions; three remain explicitly deferred. Leaving an unresolved sense visible is part of the work: a nearby concept should not be substituted merely to make a checklist appear complete.
The graph adds 931 links to earlier checked concepts and 496 links among the new additions. These make navigation richer. They do not establish that connected concepts agree or that a highly connected entry is more true or more important.
The figures describe this release snapshot. Approval covers the displayed compact definitions and contextual links; source retention, automated checks and human approval have different scopes. The new Wikipedia-derived subset is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0 with its attribution and evidence.
