Core Terms — Quick Reference
Ghost Load™ (G = L − N)
Parasitic load · Vampire load · Administrative overhead burden
The invisible institutional burden imposed on individuals and systems. Ghost Load = Total Load minus Necessary Load.
Sovereign Constant™ (C = 0.33)
Overhead ceiling · 75% program ratio benchmark
The extraction floor. Ghost Load exceeding 33% indicates structural dependency architecture.
Administrative Delta™
Overhead gap · Program efficiency gap · MER
The dollar gap between what was funded for delivery and what reached the human.
1.57 Invariance™
Phase synchronization threshold · Structural coherence standard
90-degree radian phase-lock. The MARLOWE Certification™ gate.
MARLOWE Certification™
Seven gates · Two tracks · TRU Geometry™ seal
Certifies that operational architecture produces autonomy outputs, not dependency outputs.
Parallel Economy™
Alternative commerce network · Certified provider mesh
The operational mesh where exchange occurs without Ghost Load™ extraction.
Node Classifications
Symmetrical Grid™ — 372 Nodes
The canonical substrate is a 372-node Symmetrical Grid™ structured as 186 Human Institutional + 186 Energy/Analog nodes. Node 186 is the Pivot — the Sovereign Human. The framework's reservation extends to all 371 addressable nodes across both mirror tiers.
