Terms Learn Omphalis defines

Last updated 2026-07-31, from the Learn Omphalis edition.

Every term Learn Omphalis defines, in the words of the Learn Omphalis edition.

Ask

Pose a plain-language question and choose the scope it draws on: the current item, the current Space, all your Spaces, or how Omphalis works. Answers cite their sources.

Bridge

A private suggestion that your work in two of your own Spaces meets at a shared subject. You can open both sides or dismiss it; nothing is shared with anyone and no permissions change.

Clean

The format-specific extraction foundation that creates one calm, faithful reading surface without rewriting the source.

Collection

A deliberate user-curated list, not a long-running question; it may gather items across Spaces.

Connection

A relationship between kept material, from whole items to exact passages, shown with its provenance for you to open and evaluate.

Connections

The surface for inspecting suggested and kept relationships across exact parts of Library material.

Course

A short, structured lesson set in Learn, reached from a Courses entry in your Library, with a syllabus you can preview and a lesson reader.

Currents

The Today section where your Library meets today's world: current stories that genuinely connect to what you have kept, each labeled a tension, an update, an application, or a continuation.

custody

The durable care Omphalis gives material you chose to Keep so its source, structure, Marks, and return context remain available.

Define

A system-created Mark that explains a term in the local context where the source uses it.

Discover

A Library surface that suggests quality-checked sources and material worth following, so your Inbox fills with things you chose.

Expand

A system-created Mark that adds relevant context to deepen a passage without replacing the source.

Inbox

The bounded arrival surface for captured and subscribed material before you decide what deserves lasting custody.

Keep

The deliberate action that grants an item lasting custody in Library rather than leaving it as an Inbox arrival.

Learn more

A deeper, on-demand explanation of a single passage you select in the reader, set with a Quick, Standard, or Deep depth control. Distinct from Ask, which answers questions across your sources.

Library

The custodial surface for material you deliberately Keep, including your own notes, marks, and recordings.

Listen

An alternate delivery action for supported content in Today, Inbox, and Library, not a separate product surface.

Mark

The umbrella for a meaningful span a user or Omphalis has identified; it includes system Source, Define, and Expand annotations and user highlights and notes.

revisit

A contextual return to kept material because an unfinished place, older Mark, or newer relationship makes another look useful.

Settings

The control surface for preferences, subscription, voice choice, integrations, privacy controls, and help.

Source

A system-created Mark that traces a claim or passage to supporting material while keeping the cited source inspectable.

Space

A major life context and comprehension lens, not a folder; in current behavior an item has one primary Space.

Strata

The Structure layer's map of typed moments in the full source, used for orientation and exact return.

Structure

The comprehension layer that reveals how the full source is organized so you can orient and return without replacing it.

tag

A lightweight flat label for retrieval and filtering, without the context of a Space or continuity of a Trail.

Thread

A related concentration Omphalis has noticed; you can inspect it and adopt a worthwhile Thread as a Trail.

Today

The finite daily return surface that brings back a bounded set of useful material and ends with a clear done state.

Trail

A user-recognized ongoing inquiry inside one Space, carrying the question you choose to continue.
