The Zazie Institute of Applied Anomalies works with a controlled technical vocabulary. This lexicon publishes the canonical definition of each term as used in the Institute's dossiers, research notes and monographs, with a link to the archival record where the term is documented in full.
The eight research divisions are the Institute’s primary topical units. Each has a canonical hub, a research program, and a complete cluster of prototypes and defensive disclosures.
Method terms used across the archive’s dossiers, research notes and monographs. Definitions are normative for the Institute’s documentation and for external citation of its work.
The Institute’s publication series and internal classification systems. Identifiers are stable accession keys designed for citation; their status as internal archival classifications is disclosed in the institutional status notice.
Named apparatus of the Institute: field stations, listening spaces and the browser-based research instruments that host the archive’s playable acoustic profiles.
When citing ZIAA work, use the terms defined here in their canonical form. Division names, series titles and apparatus names are stable designations maintained by the Institute; the archive's citation policy specifies how records should be cited, and the Institutional Status notice documents the classification of the Institute's internal identifiers.
