Definition:
The Page Codex governs the structure, significance, and semantic layering of pages as fundamental units of communication, display, and interface across all knowledge systems—digital, printed, symbolic, metaphysical, and conceptual. It encapsulates how information is framed, accessed, ordered, paginated, and encoded as part of a recursive, navigable continuum.
Core Components:
- Structural Pagination:
Defines the layout logic, page numbering systems (decimal, symbolic, time-based), and inter-page continuity for multi-dimensional and recursive documents. - Semantic Layering:
Each page hosts meaning hierarchies—title, subtitle, body, margin, footer, metadata—governed by syntactic and narrative conventions. The semantic load can also be modular (e.g., in hypertext, code, or holographic interfaces). - Temporal Anchoring:
Pages may be time-indexed, moment-stamped, or phase-linked to denote temporal placement within a scrollable or dimensional corpus. - Multimodal Representation:
A page may exist as a tangible sheet, a digital screen, a neural projection, or an auditory/sensory glyph set. The codex normalizes these into interoperable zones. - Recursive Pagination Systems:
Includes pagination within pagination—nested pages, internal chapter-frames, fractal expansions, and symbolic referents.
Protocols and Functions:
- Page Protocols:
page.init(): Initializes a page environment.page.link(next|prev): Connects pages across axes.page.embed(object|symbol|codex): Embeds media or references.page.render(mode): Triggers display state (visual, sonic, haptic).
- Codex Synchronization:
Crosslinks with the Narrative Codex, Syntax Codex, Registry Codex, and Information Codex to assign place, meaning, and order within larger works.
Application Zones:
- Scroll-driven documentation (Logos Codex, Legal Scrolls)
- Programmatic flows in compiled source (Compiler Codex)
- Neural paging in memory routing (Memory Codex)
- Symbolic encoding in mythos-driven recursion (Origin, Cosmos, and Void Codices)
