# Glossary

Every defined term in the vault, with a one-line definition and a wikilink to the canonical note.

- **Agent / Digital Clone** — autonomous AI given missions rather than tasks; works asynchronously with deep context. See [[concept-ai-agent]].
- **AI-Human Harmony** — coexistence state in which humans delegate computational work and reserve themselves for embodied/emotional life. See [[concept-ai-human-harmony]].
- **AI Firehose** — the overwhelming pace of AI tool releases that paralyzes adopters. See [[concept-the-ai-firehose]].
- **Artificial Intimacy** — using AI to simulate human relationships (therapy, friendship, romance); the central failure mode of the AI era. See [[concept-artificial-intimacy]].
- **Atoms** — the physical/human world; tasks reserved for humans. See [[concept-atoms-vs-bits]].
- **Bits** — the digital/administrative world; tasks to be delegated to AI. See [[concept-atoms-vs-bits]].
- **Clone** — synonym for an AI Agent in personal-branding contexts. See [[concept-ai-agent]].
- **Complex problems** — emotional/relational; cannot be solved, only lived. See [[concept-complicated-vs-complex]].
- **Complicated problems** — hard but logically solvable; AI's domain. See [[concept-complicated-vs-complex]].
- **Genie** — Level 2 AI that executes specific tasks on demand. See [[concept-three-levels-of-ai]].
- **Goal Accelerator** — Graziosi's 5-step framework ending in pain articulation. See [[framework-goal-accelerator]].
- **Have-To Audit** — one-day log of "I have to..." tasks for delegation. See [[action-audit-have-tos]].
- **Hemispheric Lateralization** — left-brain (logic) vs. right-brain (meaning) framing applied to AI. See [[concept-hemispheric-lateralization]].
- **Left Brain** — analysis, efficiency, logic; AI's externalized domain. See [[concept-hemispheric-lateralization]].
- **Mission (vs. task)** — high-level goal handed to a Level-3 [[concept-ai-agent|Agent]] without step-by-step instructions.
- **Oracle** — Level 1 AI used as a reactive Q&A tool. See [[concept-three-levels-of-ai]].
- **Parenting AI** — training LLMs through context, examples, and iterative feedback rather than rigid programming. See [[concept-parenting-ai]] and [[framework-parenting-ai]].
- **Pain (in goal-setting)** — explicit articulation of the negative consequences of failure; Step 5 of [[framework-goal-accelerator]].
- **Right Brain** — love, meaning, spirituality; the protected human domain. See [[concept-hemispheric-lateralization]] and [[framework-right-brain-exercise]].
- **Simulation of Life** — Brooks' phrase for the hollow result of seeking love/meaning in tech. See [[quote-simulation-of-life]].
- **The AI Surfer** — Lior Weinstein's nickname; signals a *ride-the-wave* (vs. drown-in-firehose) posture. See [[entity-lior-weinstein]].
- **Three Levels of AI** — Oracle / Genie / Agent maturity model. See [[concept-three-levels-of-ai]].
- **Tone Mirror** — saved prompt that reviews drafts for tonal alignment and offers empathetic vs. decisive revisions. See [[action-build-tone-mirror]].
- **Why (in goal-setting)** — the deep emotional reason a goal matters; Step 4 of [[framework-goal-accelerator]].
