A-side / B-side
Definition
A-side and B-side are complementary representational sides within the LMR dimensional grammar.
They are not physical domains, locations, regions, layers of space, or separate worlds.
They are grammatical distinctions used to organize dimensional representation and mirror correspondence.
Tier Placement
Primary tier: Tier 1
Role: Representational side discipline
A-side / B-side belongs to the foundational codex grammar established in Paper I.
Source
Primary source: Paper I — Codex and Foundational Grammar
Authority level: Foundational
Paper I establishes the side discipline and the notation rules governing A-side and B-side representations.
Function in LMR
A-side / B-side discipline prevents category error in dimensional representation.
It supports:
- prime notation
- mirror inversion
- mid₁ mapping
- dimensional comparison
- M′ representation
- quadrant grammar
- hourglass grammar
- separation of structural and correspondence readings
Side discipline ensures that quantities are read according to their codex role rather than freely translated by ordinary intuition.
Allowed Use
A-side and B-side may be used to distinguish complementary representations within the dimensional grammar.
They may be used when applying prime notation, mirror inversion, quadrant grammar, or hourglass grammar.
Prohibited Misuse
A-side and B-side must not be treated as:
- physical places
- hidden dimensions
- separate universes
- causal domains
- motion endpoints
- transport regions
- dynamical layers
A quantity does not physically move from one side to the other.
Side relation is grammatical, not spatial.
