Composition

wi (will/intention) + re (recurrence/cycle) + su (structure/organization) — an organized structure for recurring intentional activity. Head-final: su (structure) is head; wi (will) and re (recurrence) together specify a recurring willed structure.

Definition

operational protocol; standing procedure; a formally organized willed structure that recurs by design across multiple instances and potentially multiple agents.

Notes

Sits in the wi-[X]-su family alongside wi-ka-su (W054, ritual) and wi-to-su (W073, design specification). The differentiator is the middle morpheme: wi-ka-su: will + DELIBERATE ACTION + structure = ritual (defined by the deliberate-action character of each instance) wi-re-su: will + RECURRENCE + structure = protocol (defined by the recurring character across instances) wi-to-su: will + CONCEPT + structure = design spec (defined by the conceptual/structural content) wi-re-su covers: maintenance schedules, operational checklists, training programs, standing orders, safety procedures. All share the property of recurring across instances without being exhausted by any one instance. Distinct from wi-to (W045, plan): a plan is single-instance and particular; a protocol is multi-instance and institutional.
