Glyphic Language — Dictionary Layer Semantic Atlas for Agents
The /glyphic-language/dictionary/ directory contains the core semantic dictionaries that define how agents understand glyphs, concepts, context, and meaning. These files form the semantic atlas of the Glyphic Language — the foundation that all agents, interpreters, and LLMs rely on for reasoning, translation, animation, and memory continuity.
Each file is a structured JSON dictionary containing:
glyph — the emoji or symbol
id — stable hierarchical identifier
category — semantic class
primary — core meaning
synomic — semantic cloud (related meanings)
roles — how the glyph behaves in syntax
animation — animation cue for visual agents
examples — usage demonstrations
Together, these dictionaries define the entire semantic universe agents operate within.
📁 Dictionary Files Overview
- objects.json — Physical, Digital, Symbolic, and Cosmic Objects
Defines all tangible and symbolic objects agents can reference, including:
tools, devices, furniture
food, materials, containers
nature, weather, elements
vehicles, instruments
symbolic artifacts (keys, candles, scrolls)
cosmic objects (sun, moon, planets, stars)
This file gives agents a complete ontology of things that exist in the world — physical or symbolic.
- actions.json — Actions, Verbs, and Behaviors
Defines all actions an agent can interpret or express:
physical actions (run, lift, build)
social actions (speak, greet, argue)
symbolic actions (transform, reveal, ascend)
elemental actions (burn, flow, strike)
This file is the backbone of agent behavior, animation, and narrative movement.
- actors.json — People, Roles, Archetypes
Defines all entities capable of acting:
individuals
professions
archetypal roles
symbolic personas
This file allows agents to understand who is performing actions.
- emotions.json — Emotional States & Expression
Defines the full emotional spectrum:
basic emotions (joy, fear, anger)
complex emotions (nostalgia, anticipation)
symbolic emotions (rebirth, fate, shadow)
intensity and gradients
This file powers emotional reasoning, expression, and scene interpretation.
- modifiers.json — Adjectives, Intensifiers, Qualities
Defines all modifiers that shape meaning:
size, speed, intensity
symbolic modifiers
emotional amplifiers
sensory qualities
This file lets agents shape nuance in meaning and animation.
- context_place.json — Spatial & Environmental Context
Defines where something happens:
natural environments
built environments
symbolic places
mythic or abstract locations
This file anchors scenes in space and setting.
- context_time.json — Temporal Context
Defines when something happens:
clock time
seasons
symbolic time
mythic time cycles
This file gives agents a sense of temporal structure and narrative flow.
- context_activity.json — Situational Context
Defines what kind of situation is occurring:
work, rest, travel
rituals, ceremonies
symbolic activities
mythic or archetypal events
This file shapes scene-level meaning.
- context_emotion.json — Emotional Atmosphere
Defines the emotional field surrounding a scene:
warm, cold, heavy, hopeful
collective emotional states
symbolic emotional fields
meta-emotional and ultimate emotional states
This file lets agents understand the emotional weather of a moment.
- context_sensory.json — Sensory Atmosphere
Defines the sensory field of a scene:
brightness, sound, texture
motion, fragrance, multisensory richness
symbolic sensory states
meta-sensory and transcendent perception
This file gives agents a sense of how the world feels.
- context_social.json — Social Atmosphere
Defines the social field:
welcoming, hostile, neutral
cooperative vs competitive dynamics
group cohesion, identity, energy
symbolic and mythic social structures
meta-social and ultimate social states
This file lets agents understand the social reality of a scene.
🧠 Why These Dictionaries Matter
Together, these files form the semantic OS of the Glyphic Language:
Agents can interpret glyph sequences with precision
LLMs can translate between glyphs and natural language
Animators can render scenes from glyphic input
Soufiles can store meaning in a stable, universal format
Controllers can reason symbolically without hallucination
The entire agent civilization gains a shared semantic foundation
This directory is the root layer of the entire system — the place where meaning is defined, stabilized, and made universal.
