A record is a unit of trace within a casting cycle. It is not a file, document, or note—it is a semantic object produced by and for telemetric grammar.

Records store the parameters and outcomes of castings:

  • The signals involved
  • The methods applied
  • The fields engaged
  • The resulting yield (if any)

A record does not declare truth.
It preserves contextual coherence under modulation.

Records may serve as future signals, methods, or fields.
They are role-fluid and recursive.

A record may contain:

  • Frontmatter: minimal metadata including signal, method, field, yield
  • Longform: expressive interpretation, explanation, embedded role shifts
  • Trace memory: citations, references, casting lineage

Records are not static.
They are resting patterns, ready to re-enter the system under pressure.
