On Unmediated Theoretical Uptake: How Diagnostic Vocabulary Stabilizes Before Institutional Recognition

The reversed sequence is:

1. composition; 2. direct publication; 3. parsing; 4. operationalization; 5. stabilization; 6. recognition; 7. institutional response.

The proposed enabling conditions are:

• precise terms;
• complete relations;
• fit with machine-mediated processes;
• recognizable institutional genres;
• discoverable metadata and placement.

The essay also identifies vulnerabilities:

• misattribution;
• neutralization;
• selective omission;
• absorption without credit.

Its Integrity Knot proposal attempts to bind definitions so that removing one term produces visible incoherence.
