- AI is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave more like humans, particularly the cognitive and learning capabilities. The term was first used by John McCarthy of MIT in 1956.
Used here the OPM or Optimal Program Machine of the OnNet uses neural architectures to approximate artificial intelligence. The idea is that the OPM stores, retrieves and uses information in much the same way as the human brain and therefore can "teach" itself or build upon its database or foundation of experience much like the human brain.
An important function of the OPM is pattern recognition for extrapolation or synthesis based upon this pattern recognition. It is essential that the OnNet AI "adapt" or formulate new rules beyond that for expert systems. This is valuable since the topology or patterns of space-possibility-time are linguistically, mathematically, and geometrically illogical in regions near or inside a discontinuity. (See Discontinuity)
The AI language used by Julia Moffett to "preprogram" the OPM is known as LIAR or Logic in Adaptive Reductionism.

- Any mth dimensional cube (or hypercube) that encloses the complimentary mth dimensional continuum. The anticube and posicube combine to form a dyad - a dualistic coordinate complex.
Julia Moffett uses the word to refer to the antiquin or light pump - a five dimensional hypercube that encloses negative space-possibility-time. The antiquin requires the reality and accessibility of a six dimensional universe believed to be the eventuality or uncertainty in time, independent of the eventuality or uncertainty in space. The latter is a consequence of the underlying variable velocity of light.

- Julia Moffett's night terror of the tavern with "blinking" patrons, of the black pool, of the artist wandering the twisted, back streets. The nightmare warned of the forgotten horrors locked deeply in her past.

- Henry Kincaid's dream of the man-bird, of the tapestry, of the Klein bottles and other parametric wonders. The dream was to reveal his lost attic "key".
-
- The isocon technician's control panel for the dreamer's vital signs and
key dream signs such as spindles and K-complexes (brain waves). The biocon can also be accessed from the compulab or lumitorium, locally or remotely.

- In this context, camera is the Lens viewing chamber. It is a synonym for the Panopticon's isocell, an isolation chamber for scanning paraspace by means of a connection to the Panigma Lens.

- The acronym for the field of Computer Enhanced Panoptography perfected by Dr. Allen Polk in 1997 from advanced computerized holography and lasoptotronics. It is claimed that Polk thought of CEP while dreaming of a Hinton cube, the shadow of a four dimensional cube cast in three dimensional space.
"The cube was vibrating, moving, and space was deforming with it. It came to me that I could actually see the next dimension," he said. "Space burst open like an exploding kernal of popcorn. And there it was ... all eight cubes were perfectly joined side to side ... the angles were all ninety degrees. I was surprised the solution to the problem of the hypercube was so easy."
This experience allowed Allen Polk to do more than just project the shadows of four dimensional objects on to three dimensional space. Using his imagineering he was able to simulate 4-d objects with linear and angular distortions of less than a half percent using the revolutionary spectrostereoscope.
-
- Mnemonic unit equal to the capacity of one CIC or Cybernet Interface Computer. It is equivalent to 3.5 yottabytes or 3.5 teraterabytes.
-
- Local "smart" terminal for the OnNet 210 computer with several gigabytes of RAM. The compsets are used to run Minerva and the OnNet UT. It is not possible to operate the Lens using a compset terminal. (See Minerva)
-
- The Panopticon's cyberplex that houses the OnNet 210 neural network computer. The floor of the compulab is constructed of an ultra nontoxic, strong, clear plastic known as Lucinite. Below the Lucinite is the 210 core or neurostratum for the Panigma Machine's biotesserae.
-
- Leopold Hardan's nightmare of the scourge of the field, of the glow in the sky, of his father's beckoning. It was the cornfield maze that first brought Hardan to the Lloyd Baumer group.
-
- A relativistic momentum balance application of Newton's second law containing second order tensors.
It is the solution to the momentum balance yielding the Einstein Tensor of sixteen terms (four dimensional and second order)that quantifies the momentum or inertia of time, first solved by Henry Kincaid in 2005.
(See Tensor)

- Unlike the typical linear time calendar, the Cosmic Calendar shows the
primary branches or major occurrences (CCV or cosmic calendar variants)
with each x,y,z,t coordinate branch assigned an "Eventuality" expressed
microquins or picoquins. This vast information is stored in the neural
Infinity series computer. There is the longstanding dispute over what is
"real", the calendar or the cosmos itself, with many "experts" taking the
position they are necessarily the same. A change realized in one is a
change realized in the other.
