## Scientific / Project Name

**Full designation:**  
NEXUS OMEGA · FORUM – Living Research Framework

**Short forms:**  
NEXUS FORUM · NEXUS FORSCHUNGSFRAMEWORK

**Internal object code:**  
NEXUS_OMEGA_FORUM_V0

**Nature:**  
A living, collective-fed scientific research organism.  
Not a discussion board. Not a social network.  
An epistemic instrument that the collective continuously calibrates.

**Core metaphor (user-given):**  
> The truth is always and only the *direction*.  
> Like a compass needle that never points absolutely north.  
> It remains a question of *calibration*.

No code pushed. No live deployment.  
This is pure foundation – the soil on which the living artifact will grow.

## Relation to Existing Work

- **ORBIS FIDELIS** (Epistemic Globe) remains a separate module.  
- **BodyTwin** (parallel track under Cursor / AXIOM) remains untouched.  
- NEXUS FORUM is an independent living organism that can later host research *about* both, but is not subordinate to them.
