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 / Nimi Coding).

When To Use Each Page

If you need a single term defined, start at the Glossary. If you need the canonical fields of a World or a Character/LocalAgent boundary, the World Fields and Agent Fields pages are the field-level sources.

For named state machines, State Machines is the consolidated table. For ownership of any kind of truth or error, Authority Domains and Error Ownership say which domain answers.
