| **Logos** | ● | Jn 1:1–14; Rev 19:13 | The intelligibility of the field: laws, structure, math | The Verbum made flesh: structure that *means* |
| **Aletheia** | ● | Jn 8:32; 14:6; 18:37–38 | Observation as disclosure: measurement unconceals | Love that cannot hide itself |
| **Dikaiosynē / Iustitia** | ● | Mt 5:6; 6:33; Rm 1:17 (Vulgate: *iustitia*) | Symmetry, right proportion, fine-tuning | Justice = love in right proportion (*satiety of justice*) |
| **πύλαι (gates)** | ● | Mt 7:13–14; 16:18; Rev 21:12–25; Hb 13:12 (“outside the gate”) | Boundary/interface: the channels where crossing occurs | The hermitage at the town’s entrance — the gate between worlds; Christ suffers *outside* it |
| **κατάλληλος ⋈** | ◐ | Family attested: καταλλάσσω Rm 5:10; καταλλαγή Rm 5:11; 2 Co 5:18–20. The adjective itself is **not** in the NT | Resonance, impedance matching | Reconciliation: the *re-fit*; “God was in Christ reconciling” — the restoration of fit |
| **Tetelestai** | ● | Jn 19:30 | The transaction completed: decoherence, actualization | Consummatum est — the collapse that saves |
| **Merimnaton μ** | ◐ | Verb very frequent: μεριμνάω, Mt 6:25–34; 1 Co 7:32; Fil 2:20 | Superposition of possibilities held open | “Do not collapse prematurely by worrying” — trust as un-collapsed attention |
| **βούλευσις** | ◐ | Noun post-biblical; verb βουλεύομαι: Mc 15:1; Lc 14:31; Hch 27:39; 2 Co 1:17; βουλή: Lc 7:30 | The weighing: deliberation, free parameter | Discernment: the counsel of God received or refused |
| **προαίρεσις** | ◐ | Noun not in NT; **verb** in 2 Co 9:7 (“as he has decided in his heart” — and note the same verse: *God loves a cheerful giver*, ἱλαρός) | The collapse at the crossing: choice | The joyful choice; key concept in Epictetus and Aquinas (*prohairesis*) |
| **gravitas / GRAVIS** | ● (via Vulgate) | Vulgate 2 Co 10:10 *graves*; Greek βαρύς Mt 23:4; **βάρος 2 Co 4:17** | Weight of the actualized outcome; irreversibility | *Pondus gloriae* — “an eternal weight of glory”: GRAVIS felt by Paul himself |
| **Chromaton, Akouoton, Osmeton, ~~Gefseton~~, Kinestiton** | ○ | Classical bases: ὁρατόν, ἀκουστόν, ὀσφραντόν, γευστόν, ἁπτόν | The five sensory channels | The five gates of the city (Rev 21) |
| **Synaisthiton / Entheusiton / Agapiton** | ○ | Bases: σύναισθησις and ἔνθεος post-biblical; **ἀγάπη** is NT core: Jn 13:34; 1 Co 13; 1 Jn 4:8 | Coherence, surplus, shared ground between fields | “God *is* love” — the ground state Λω itself |
