Composition

si (signal/information) + mu (artifact) — the artifact whose defining function is signal-handling. Head-final: mu (artifact) is the head; si specifies the functional type of device.

Definition

relay device; signal transceiver; any artifact whose primary function is to receive, process, and retransmit a signal. Covers radio relays, network nodes, signal repeaters, and communication transceivers.

Notes

si-mu is the minimal form (relay/transceiver). Extend with additional root: si-mu-su = signal infrastructure (a relay network / organized array of devices) si-su-mu = signal-structure-artifact = antenna array (structural installation; see C002 B1 — not separately registered, transparent) Contrast to-ki-mu (W011: transmission device that processes knowledge/queries) vs si-mu (relay device that transmits raw signal without semantic processing). The distinction matters: a si-mu relays; a to-ki-mu reasons over the signal. Contrast also si-ko-mu (W067: document / stored-information artifact): a relay passes signal through; a document holds signal within.

si (primitive: signal), mu (primitive: artifact), to-ki-mu (W011), si-ko-mu (W067: document / stored record), si-ki (W023: a transmitted signal in motion), si-ne-ki (W021: a broadcast/propagation)

Examples

"lo-si-mu no-ru" — the relay is unstable (C002 A1) "lo-si-mu ru ta-now" — the relay is stable now (C002 A3)
