๐What it means
This dictionary: the one place a WORD used in Carolverse is defined. Every entry carries the meaning, the synonyms that mean the same thing, and the near-miss words that sound similar but mean something else. A term is defined here once and rendered everywhere else, so no two records can drift apart.
๐Easily confused with
[{"term": "App Handbook", "distinction": "The Data Dictionary defines WORDS; the App Handbook explains what a NUMBER on a particular app's screen means. Looking up 'what is a droid' is this app; looking up 'what does initiatives-per-day count' is the App Handbook."}, {"term": "Carolopedia", "distinction": "The dictionary gives you the one-paragraph meaning of a word; the encyclopedia tells you the whole story of a thing."}, {"term": "SST", "distinction": "The dictionary defines the vocabulary; the SST catalogs the artifacts that vocabulary describes."}]
