MoM Glossary

Clear terminology to support concentric mapping and guided inquiry.

Public Trust & Governance Notice

The Mandala of Mandalas (MoM) book is completely stand-alone and complete without the website. The online MandalaStacks site serves only as an optional private continuation for personal self-inquiry reflection.

Your generated Coda is a mirror, not a verdict. The site is not therapy, diagnosis, a personality test, a destiny map, or a spiritual authority. Consent and privacy settings always precede any intake.

Understanding the core language of the MoM framework makes it easier to navigate generators and workflows.

Mandala
A concentric, multi-layered map centering a specific purpose (yantra) and expanding outward into rings of principles, techniques, and concrete practices.
Yantra
The core seed statement of intent placed at the center of a mandala. It acts as the anchor and invariant for checking all outer layers.
Traversal Arc
The path of transition across concentric layers, tracing how abstract principles manifest as specific daily habits.
Life State
The active orienting domain of a person's life (e.g., transition, focus, consolidation, crisis) that influences the tone and urgency of their inquiry.
