Primitive
Primitive names what is not produced from a prior term within the system. A primitive is not identified by its content but by the absence of an upstream dependency within the system — it is the term at which dependency tracing stops. Primitive does not name a specific term; it names a structural role. Relation is the primitive of Reality Mechanics.

Primitive becomes recognisable where dependency tracing reaches a term that is not produced from another term within the system — where the trace stops because there is nothing prior to trace to.
