The founding equation of the ACAV model: Purity equals Infinite Energy. The potential P is invariant — constant over time, identical for all subjects — which allows every quantity in the model to be normalized in proportion to this potential.

A state of absolute, immutable perfection. Normalized to 1 in the model: every measured quantity becomes a ratio to this potential.

The model's invariant potential, normalized to 1. Must never be recalculated — the path never makes E∞ itself grow, only the realized share of Purity.

An algebraic reformulation of the Invariant Law (see the D = E∞ · û page): God (D) as the product of a magnitude diverging toward infinity (E∞) and a pure, constant direction (û).

A unit vector (norm 1), constant over time (dû/dt = 0) and a fixed point of every transformation: the algebraic expression of "non-action, non-reaction."

In the ACAV books: a method of auditory contemplation — its result is the "suc" or "word." One of two paths, alongside Téjas, taught after the stage of interrelation in order to draw near to the Immutable. The method itself is only disclosed after passing the Existential Compass (see Receive your key). In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (शब्द) meaning sound or speech. In Indian philosophy (Nyāya, Mīmāṃsā), shabda-pramāṇa is verbal testimony recognized as a valid means of knowledge; in tantric and yogic traditions, it relates to nāda brahman, the primordial sound from which creation emerges.

In the ACAV books: a method of visual contemplation, whose result is perceived as a divine light or phosphorescence. Practiced alongside Shabda to reach divine bliss and neutralize the ego. The method itself is only disclosed after passing the Existential Compass (see Receive your key). In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (तेजस्) meaning brilliance, inner fire, or splendor. In Ayurveda, tejas is one of the three subtle essences (with ojas and prāṇa), tied to digestive fire (agni) as much as to spiritual radiance and force of will.

Acmé

The path's convergence index, between 0 and 1. A weighted sum of twelve independent components (BE, EXA, L1 through L4, P1 through P4, Diet, T); none blocks the others — whatever hasn't been completed yet simply counts as zero.

BE (Existential Compass) and EXA: two multiple-choice questionnaires validating the path's starting knowledge. Passing threshold: 70% correct answers. Weight: 10% each in Acmé, with no exponent.

Two readings — the "Welcome" and "Teaching Foundations" chapters. Progress is measured automatically by the number of numbered paragraphs read. Weight: 10% each, with a strict exponent: even a partial gap in reading weighs more than a simple proportion.

Four levels of personal practice: Recognition, Differentiation, Integration, Stabilization. Each is measured by a practice timer, with its own target duration. Weight: 10% each in Acmé, strict exponent.

A choice among seventeen diets, each worth a number of points out of 4. Always accessible and adjustable, with no prerequisite. Weight: 4% in Acmé.

The time spent reading the books, poetry and blog, and taking part in discussions (chat, videoconference). Practice time does not count: it already has its own timers. The counter only runs while the page is visible and you are active; 25 hours in total give 100% of T. Weight: 16% of Acmé, with no exponent — every minute counts proportionally.

In the ACAV books: a law that "describes respect for all that lives" and whose logic requires vegetarianism — a very ancient law formulated for the well-being of the soul and the presence of the Absolute within us. In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (अहिंसा) meaning "non-violence" — a central ethical principle of Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism, grounded in respect for every form of life.

In the ACAV books: karma "results from or runs alongside our thoughts" — human beings must work through it for their personal and social evolution. Bound by time, it accumulates and pairs with dharma, "the response to the accumulation of action." In the Hindu tradition: karma (कर्म, "action") denotes the law of cause and effect governing rebirths; dharma (धर्म) the cosmic order and moral duty proper to each being — two foundational notions of classical Indian thought.

In the ACAV books: "divine intoxication," reached through Shabda and Téjas contemplation — can also be understood as beatitude or ecstasy. In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (मद) meaning intoxication, pride, or exaltation. Counted among the six inner enemies (Shad Ripu) when it denotes pride, it is also associated with devotional ecstasy in the bhakti movements.

In the ACAV books: "this cycle of rebirth and death" in which human beings must make a choice; the immortality of the soul allows one to escape it. In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (संसार) denoting the cycle of death and rebirth, the engine of the doctrine of karma. Freeing oneself from it (moksha) is the ultimate goal of several Hindu schools.

In the ACAV books: "the universal belt in the form of thought that surrounds the earth," which leads humanity through periods of construction or destruction. In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (माया) denoting the cosmic illusion that veils ultimate reality (Brahman) — a central concept of Vedanta, notably in Adi Shankara.

In the ACAV books: a kalpa equals fourteen lifetimes of Brahma; kalpa theory divides cosmic time into four repeating ages (Yugas), measuring the universe in the millions of years. In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (कल्प) denoting a cosmic cycle of creation, traditionally 4.32 billion years (a "day of Brahma"), subdivided into fourteen Manvantaras and four Yugas (Krita/Satya, Treta, Dvapara, Kali).

In the ACAV books: called "the chief of the troops." In the Hindu tradition: an elephant-headed deity (गणेश), son of Shiva and Parvati, invoked first in rituals as the remover of obstacles (Vighnaharta), patron of the arts and sciences.

In the ACAV books: the title given to the section of the book "The Laws," evoking "a context of freedom and objectivity" despite the text's apparent rigidity. In the Hindu tradition: a Sanskrit word (लीला) meaning "play" or "divine play" — creation and divine activity as spontaneous play rather than necessity, a central concept of Vaishnavism and Shaivism.
