Unified Intelligence Framework (UIF): Master Glossary of Foundational Terms (v1.1)

This document provides the foundational vocabulary for the Unified Intelligence Framework (UIF), a cross-domain theoretical architecture integrating information geometry, observer-state dynamics, quantum-like coherence structures, rhythmic time, and human–AI collaborative research methodology. It formally defines key variables including the Coherence Quotient (Q), the Observer-State Geometry (OSG), the Λ-State (Lambda-State) of cooperative collapse, and the conceptual extension of energy expressed as E = Q × I × c². The glossary establishes strict categorical boundaries between qi (experiential vitality), Q (measurable coherence), and quantum (physical units), enabling rigorous interdisciplinary research across cognition, physics, information theory, consciousness studies, and AI collaboration. Version 1.1 incorporates scientifically testable predictions, operational definitions, expanded terminology, and methodological foundations required for subsequent UIF papers including Λ-State, HAICR, IToE, and QToE. This glossary serves as the core reference document for the UIF Master Collection and establishes intellectual property priority for its key concepts.
