warm

ledgerdraftwarm

Warm names what a cold reading must not see and what the researcher keeps. Warm inference is not implementable and no artefact holds it; what is implementable is the ledger, the accumulated material the reasoning is performed against. Dispositions, admissions, surprises, manifests, the lapse log and the decision record are all warm.

When to use

Use it of material and of acts: a warm field, a warm store, a warm act. A field that looks like metadata may be warm, which is why the origin key is withheld from a reading.

When NOT to use

Do not use warm to mean sensitive or private. The construal as it presently stands is committed and readable by every reader, and it is not warm; its history is.
