🎯 Recommendations

1. Terminology Standardization

Key decisions needed:

  • 'Segmented Spacetime' vs 'SSZ'

    • Use full term in introductions
    • Use 'SSZ' in technical discussions after definition
    • Always capitalize 'Segmented Spacetime'

  • 'segment' vs 'Segment'

    • Lowercase when used as common noun
    • Capitalize when part of formal term
    • Example: 'each segment' vs 'Segment Radius'

2. Symbol Definitions

Always define at first use:

  • φ (Golden Ratio) = (1 + √5)/2
  • τ (proper time) vs t (coordinate time)
  • r_φ (segment radius) vs r_s (Schwarzschild radius)

3. Bilingual Consistency

Ensure EN ↔ DE translations match:

  • Review all bilingual doc pairs
  • Use this glossary as reference
  • Update translations where inconsistent

4. Next Steps

  • Review and approve terminology choices
  • Apply capitalization standards
  • Define all abbreviations at first use
  • Update DOCUMENTATION_INDEX with this glossary
