# Glossary (GroundMesh)
- Atlas: inventory + health of system components published at /atlas/index.html.
- ADR: Architecture Decision Record in docs/decisions/.
- Balance: the living pattern of right relation across a being, circle, or system; GroundMesh treats shifts in balance as signals to notice before forcing action.
- Compute Transparency: public snapshot (non-sensitive) of grid metrics at /compute.html fed by docs/data/metrics.json.
- Contributors Hub: public onramp with two lanes (map/email for easy; GitHub issues for structured).
- Echo Archive: a small memory shelf for concise principles worth remembering and reusing without turning them into hard rules.
