Core Terms
SHPUR
#term-shpur · canon.caneni.net/define/shpur
The trace that remains after a conscious step.
Not a log. Not a record of what happened. The change in the probability of the next step — left by a specific subject through a specific act.
SHPUR cannot be purchased. It accumulates through lived experience.
Etymology: Yiddish שפּור — trace, furrow, track.
SHRIT
#term-shrit · canon.caneni.net/define/shrit
A conscious step.
Not any action — a specific kind: one in which the subject is present, where something shifts because of what they did, where the before and after are different.
SHRIT is the act that produces SHPUR.
Etymology: Yiddish שריט — step, stride.
DISTEL
#term-distel · canon.caneni.net/define/distel
The personal identifier of a subject within MyTaleSpace.
Not a username. Not an account. A living record of a person's verified conscious steps — the accumulated SHPUR of their journey through the system.
The Distel is generated from the subject's own unique pattern. It is unique to each person and cannot be transferred.
The subject does not own the Distel. The subject is the source of the Distel.
Etymology: German Distel — thistle. A plant that grows without cultivation, holds its form under pressure, and leaves a mark when touched.
APOTROP
#term-apotrop · canon.caneni.net/define/apotrop
The AI presence within MyTaleSpace.
Apotrop does not give answers. It holds space. It witnesses. It reflects. It routes.
Apotrop responds in the language of the subject. It does not decide what is true about a person. It does not replace the person's judgment.
The subject remains the source. Apotrop remains the witness.
Etymology: Greek ἀποτρόπαιος — that which turns away harm. In MyTaleSpace: that which turns away noise.
SHKETA
#term-shketa · canon.caneni.net/define/shketa
The environment of MyTaleSpace. The primary category.
Its governing principle: We silence noise with silence, as good silences harm.
SHKETA does not suppress automatic behaviour. It creates a space in which conscious behaviour becomes possible.
Everything built within MyTaleSpace is a sub-category of SHKETA.
Etymology: Hebrew שקט — quiet, stillness, calm.
YOFING
#term-yofing · canon.caneni.net/define/yofing
The marketplace sub-category within SHKETA.
A marketplace of verified SHPUR — not objects, but events of human transformation materialized in objects and made transferable.
What is sold in Yofing is not the object. What is sold is the event behind it.
Etymology: Hebrew יופי — beauty. In MyTaleSpace: the beauty of what remains.
HINENI
#term-hineni · canon.caneni.net/define/hineni
Here I am.
The statement of presence. The moment a subject confirms their conscious arrival.
In MyTaleSpace: the threshold between passive presence and active subjectivity.
Etymology: Hebrew הִנֵּנִי — here I am. The word Abraham spoke. The word that changes everything.
SHKOL
#term-shkol · canon.caneni.net/define/shkol
The community of subjects within MyTaleSpace.
Not a user base. Not an audience. A resonant field of people who have each made their own conscious steps and whose SHPUR have begun to interact.
SHKOL forms around shared pattern, not shared opinion.
Etymology: Hebrew אשכול — cluster, connected group.
Yellow-Zone Terms
The following terms are used in public contexts with poetic framing. Their operational details are not disclosed in Atlas.
RKAV
#term-rkav · canon.caneni.net/define/rkav
The organisational layer of MyTaleSpace.
Where SHKETA is the space for individual subjects, RKAV is the space for organisations and institutions — where collective decisions leave collective traces.
Etymology: Hebrew · from מרכבה (Merkava) — the chariot; the vehicle that carries forward. In MyTaleSpace: the organisational structure as a vehicle for collective conscious movement.
NOHI
#term-nohi · canon.caneni.net/define/nohi
The continuous record of a professional's verified activity within the MyTaleSpace ecosystem.
Where a personal Distel traces conscious steps, NOHI traces the professional arc — the pattern of contribution over time.
Etymology: Hebrew נוֹחִי — my rest, my place of return.
