Master rocks and open questions
Consolidated honesty table — every major claim that marketing might exaggerate, with current evidence level. Supersedes scattered rocks in Chapter 12 and the site index. Update this table when implementation catches aspiration.
| Claim | Operator reality | Label | Evidence / gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| This is a certified textbook | Long-form operator course; manuscript not publisher-certified | Philosophy | Edition subtitle, not external validation |
| Textbook of 2026 | Edition name and teaching ambition | Philosophy | Not third-party curriculum approval |

Open questions (honest gaps — not roadmap promises): calibrated GPU joules vs proxy entropy; wire DNSSEC validation beyond stub counters; Queen production parity across all gate classes; reproducible cross-host sovereign time under adversarial NTP; belt_2_0 runtime wins on large redata workloads (micro-bench may favor host -O2). File issues against AMOURANTHRTX / NEXUS / Grok16 when you close a gap — then update this row.
Glossary — Field Technology v5
This chapter is an encyclopedic glossary for the full textbook. Every term used across Chapters 1–21 appears here in prose and in the master table at the end. When a term has both poetry and code meanings, both are named. Read alphabetically by section; grep the table when you are in a hurry.

On the way — what you will learn
The glossary is the encyclopedic index of Field Technology v5 vocabulary — formal definitions beside honesty labels. On the way you will disambiguate FieldSocket from packet field, RF meanings, entropy layers, and every rock-named knob.

- Alphabetical term lookup
- Cross-links to chapter deep dives
- Disambiguation tables for overloaded words
- Keep open while reading any chapter
Status labels from Chapter 1 still apply: Implemented means grep-able source; means intuition not SI units; Philosophy means operator discipline.
