Threshold

The boundary condition where legibility breaks down or shifts state.

The Bridge (Plain concept)

Imagine walking through a dense fog. At some point, the fog breaks, and you can see the entire valley. The exact step where the boundary cleared is a threshold. It's the moment a system transitions from one operational state to another, or from being invisible to being legible.

Deep Definition

A threshold is the semi-permeable boundary between states of being, or between observing systems. In MOSS, it isn't just a physical or metaphoric barrier; it is the fundamental site of meaning-making. Action and legibility occur precisely at the threshold, where internal state meets external friction.

Notes

In LoomWeaver architecture, 'threshold' is explicitly bifurcated: The semantic token used by the Oracle, and the operational mechanism (like `context_gate`) used by the system to perform state retrieval. Confusing the two risks symbolic-mechanism contamination.
