Reference

Reference is the product-concept dictionary for Nimi. Each page is a field listing, table, or enumeration sourced from .nimi/spec/**. None of these pages narrate — for narrative, see the domain sections (Platform / Runtime / SDK / Desktop / Realm / Avatar / Cognition / Nimi Coding).

When To Use Each Page

If you need a single term defined, start at the Glossary. If you need the canonical fields of a World or an Agent, the World Fields and Agent Fields pages are the field-level sources. If you need to trace a public claim back to its kernel contract, Spec Map is the navigation index.

For named state machines, State Machines is the consolidated table. For ownership of any kind of truth or error, Authority Domains and Error Ownership say which domain answers.
