Mark, makes sense - but...
*:
I hate when people create a new vocabulary to be learned for appropriate
use. I made MY vocabulary and the rest of the world should learn it. Adolf
Hitler.
*
Then again I like your 'plain English' of Latin words, grammar and
mythology.
*
We like to mix features of reductionist (conventional) "science" with more
advanced ideas, it is an excellent way to secure endless discussions. Like
e.g. the "SU"..
I rather spread my 'I dunno' into the vagueness of my narratives, suggest
what we might find (out?) in the future and scratch those assumptions that
*in my views* serve only the purpose to make model-theories better
believable (calculable?).
*
If I got it right, your 'ianus' is sometimes called relation and the quorum
may be referred to as (network) nodes or hubs in some other vocabulary.
(quorum, btw. looks to me as a plural genitive of the pronoun qui quae quod
in masculine or neutral (quarum being the feminine), also used pars pro toto
for the existing total construct mostly in human assemblages. Accordingly my
Latin disallows to form a simple plural of it, since it is not a noun within
the neutral o-based conjugation. (Yet, you may say: 'quorums').
(I learned this 74-75 years ago, so please do correct me if someone has more
recent and unmatching memories).
You start well with " * so-called Dark matter may simply be vortex knots
that neither
generate nor receive gliders..." but continue within the subatomic
'particle' lingo,( of which Enrico Fermi quipped: If I knew that much Greek,
I could be a botanic. )
Best regards
