Reference
Reference is the product-concept dictionary for Nimi. Each page is a field listing, table, or enumeration sourced from .nimi/spec/**. None of these pages narrate — for narrative, see the domain sections (Platform / Runtime / SDK / Desktop / Realm / Avatar / Cognition / Nimi Coding).

How To Read
These pages are reference, not lessons or recipes. They assume you already understand the domain narrative and want to look up exact field names, states, owners, or contracts.
If a term is unfamiliar, start at the Glossary. If you want a walkthrough, return to the relevant domain section.
Authority
Every reference entry is sourced from .nimi/spec/**. When a reference page disagrees with the kernel rule, the kernel rule wins and the reference page is corrected. Reference pages do not invent fields or contracts; they project what the spec already records.
