Material family
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Material family is what a thing is made of. It is not what the thing is for, which is Application, and not what part of a building it becomes, which is Element.
question: What is it made of?
status: authored

Sector
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Sector classifies whom the building serves; Typology classifies what the building is. A converted warehouse full of flats is sector residential and typology warehouse plus apartment. Sector moves when the tenant moves; typology does not.
question: What market does the project serve?
status: authored

Application
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Application is a product-facing claim about what a material may be specified for. Element is a building-facing claim about a thing that exists in a building. A porcelain slab carries application countertop; the worktop it becomes is element worktop.
question: What is this product used for?
status: authored

Space
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: A space is a bounded volume a person occupies. The test is whether you can stand in it. A stairwell is a space; a staircase is an element. A shower room is a space; a shower enclosure is an element.
question: What room is this?
status: authored

Element
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: An element is a constructed part of the building fabric, aligned to Uniclass EF. It is not Application, which is about suitability rather than existence.
question: What part of the building fabric is this?
status: authored

Typology
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Typology is a whole building or premises, never a room inside one. A hotel is a typology; its lobby and its bedrooms are spaces. Typology terms also do double duty: a building IS a farmhouse, or a suburban living room EVOKES one.
question: What kind of building is this?
status: authored

Style
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: A style is a named idiom with formal rules and a literature. The test: could a designer execute it deliberately from a set of moves, and could you write those moves down? Minimalism passes. Cosy fails, because it is an outcome rather than a method.
question: What named idiom does it follow?
status: authored

Period
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Period is a date. Style is a set of moves. Periods here are named by date range or dynastic label, never by the style that flourished in them, so an Art Deco bar built in 2024 is style art-deco in period contemporary.
question: When was it made, or when does it evoke?
status: authored

Mood
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Mood is affective and reader-relative; style is formal and rule-bound. A style can be executed deliberately from a set of moves; a mood can only be achieved. Two rooms in the same style routinely carry different moods.
question: What does it feel like to be in?
status: authored

Palette
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: Three facets rather than one flat list, because a flat list cannot say warm green or faded blue. Temperature in particular is the most-welded-in property in the estate: warm minimalism had to be minted twice because no vocabulary could compose it.
question: What colour is it?
status: authored

Place
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: One vocabulary, two predicates. A project is LOCATED IN a place; a room EVOKES one. Both are true and neither is derivable from the other, which is why there is no separate place-as-idiom vocabulary here.
question: Where is it, or where does it evoke?
status: authored

Strategy
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: A strategy is something a design sets out to achieve, not an idiom it follows. Biophilic design and passive design are strategies. They are not styles and were refused entry to Style rather than widening it.
question: What was the design trying to achieve?
status: declared
gap: Identified by the crosswalk-residue test (TAX-14) from architizer's Biophilic value. architizer's own SUSTAINABILITY enum is the obvious starting point. Not yet authored.

Density
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: How much is going on on the surface: pattern incidence, applied ornament, layering, and the restraint-to-maximalism range. It is not PALETTE, which carries how colour behaves rather than how much incident there is, and it is not STYLE, though several style terms are largely density claims wearing an idiom's name.
question: How much is going on?
status: declared
gap: Identified after the fact, by the axis critique of 21 August 2026, and it is the one real gap that review found. The source vocabularies keep asking this question and no axis here answers it: materia's `patterned`, materialgraph's `playful_graphic` and `decorative_traditional`, designshop's `Eclectic`, and designround's `Modern Maximalism` against `Warm Minimalism` - a pair that differs chiefly on density and barely on anything else. materialgraph already carries `ms_pattern_density` at MATERIAL scale, which is the obvious seed, but the room-scale question is not the same one: a room of quiet materials can still be dense with incident. Until this exists, `maximalism` is filed as a style, which flatters it.

Form
type: ConceptScheme
boundary: A formal move is a geometric decision: a cantilever, a courtyard, a sawtooth roof. It is not an idiom and not a mood.
question: What geometric move does it make?
status: declared
gap: Identified by the crosswalk-residue test (TAX-14) from architizer's Sculptural value. architizer's own FORMAL_MOVE_EXAMPLES is the obvious starting point. Not yet authored.

Hotel Room
type: Concept
in scheme: Space
notation: space.hotel_room
definition: A let sleeping volume in a hotel, taken together with its ensuite: the guest's whole private territory rather than the bed alone.
related match: http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300248355
semantic id: room.hotel-room
source basis: vendored
source: materialgraph ms_room
date: 2026-08-21
scope note: Deliberately NOT `broaderTermId: bedroom`. A hotel room is a bedroom plus its bathroom, desk and wardrobe let as one unit, and its surfaces answer to contract fire, cleaning and wear standards a domestic bedroom never sees. Subsuming it would make every bedroom query return hospitality specifications.

Hospitality Lobby
type: Concept
in scheme: Space
notation: space.hospitality_lobby
definition: The arrival and waiting volume of a hotel or similar: public, staffed, and passed through rather than settled into.
broad match: http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300004264

Restaurant
type: Concept
in scheme: Space
notation: space.restaurant
definition: The public dining volume of a food business, front of house only; the commercial preparation space behind it is `kitchen`.

Patient Room
type: Concept
in scheme: Space
notation: space.patient_room
definition: An inpatient sleeping and treatment volume, where every surface answers to clinical cleaning, infection control and observation before it answers to comfort.
semantic id: room.patient-room
source basis: vendored
source: materialgraph ms_room
date: 2026-08-21
scope note: Deliberately NOT `broaderTermId: bedroom`. People sleep in it, which is the whole of the resemblance. The ISA test asks whether every patient room is a bedroom, and it is not: it is a clinical space that happens to contain a bed, and its material specification is closer to `operating_room` than to `bedroom`.

scope note: `Mudroom` and `Mud Room` are both carried in `seenAs` because DesignShop spells it one way on the scheme side and the other on the product side. Neither spelling is wrong; both are observed, and a crosswalk that hid one could not clean the data.

semantic id: space.landing
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: AAT files landings as a stair component, which is the element sense. This term is the volume sense - the thing you stand on - so the match is `close` and not `exact`.

date: 2026-08-18
scope note: The weakest term on this axis against the standing-in test. What it names is a set of surfaces rather than a bounded volume, and it is here because DesignShop's product-side vocabulary carries it as a targetable space and its schemes are real. Read it as the outdoor volume immediately against the building, and if a cleaner split appears, split it.

scope note: Deliberately NOT `broaderTermId: bathroom`. In American usage a WC is a bathroom and the edge would be clean; in British usage it is not, and the whole point of the term is the absence of bathing provision. Since the difference is exactly what a specifier needs to see, the two terms sit side by side rather than one inside the other.

scope note: The clearest case of typology used as reference rather than classification: the Farmhouse schemes in the DesignShop corpus are overwhelmingly suburban rooms evoking one, not dwellings on farms. See the header on the two predicates.

Barn
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.barn
definition: A large single-volume agricultural building for crop or stock, unheated and top-lit or unlit by design, with the roof structure exposed because nothing was ever fixed below it.
semantic id: typology.barn
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: NOT parented to `house`. A barn is an agricultural building; the residential barn everyone means is a conversion, which is a change of use and not a change of what the building is. The dwelling in it is a house that happens to be in a barn.

Villa
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.villa
definition: A detached house standing in its own grounds and built for retreat rather than for work on the land - the Roman country-house lineage that both the Palladian villa and the holiday villa descend from.
broader: House
semantic id: typology.villa
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: The leisure premise is the line against `farmhouse`, which is otherwise the same thing in the same landscape. British estate-agent usage for a Victorian semi is a separate and weaker sense, not carried here.

Manor
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.manor
definition: The principal house of a landed estate, from which the surrounding land was administered: large, old and rural, but built to be lived in rather than defended.
alternative label: manor house
alternative label: country house
broader: House
semantic id: typology.manor
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001

Chateau
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.chateau
definition: The French country seat: a large house with the symmetry, steep roofline and axial approach of the French tradition, whether or not it retains defensive fabric.
alternative label: château
broader: House
semantic id: typology.chateau
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: Parented to `house` rather than `castle` on a judgement call. The French word covers both and some châteaux are genuinely fortified, but the term as the trade uses it means a grand house; where the fabric is actually defensive, `castle` is the better term.

Terraced House
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.terraced_house
definition: A house in a continuous row, sharing both side walls with its neighbours and taking all its light from the front and back only, which is what governs the plan.
alternative label: townhouse

Apartment

definition: A self-contained dwelling occupying part of a larger building, reached through circulation shared with other dwellings. The tenancy, not the block that holds it.
alternative label: flat
alternative label: condominium
alternative label: condo

hidden label: condo
hidden label: Multi-unit housing
hidden label: Affordable housing
semantic id: typology.apartment
source basis: evidenced
source: architizer SUBTYPE_RULES
date: 2026-08-21
scope note: Architizer's `Multi-unit housing` and `Affordable housing` actually name the containing building, for which this axis has no term - they are in `seenAs` because that is where a crosswalk will land them today, not because they are correct. See the header's gap list.

Loft
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.loft
definition: A dwelling occupying part of a building put up for another purpose, keeping that building's structure, volume and window pattern instead of being replanned to domestic scale.
alternative label: loft apartment
alternative label: warehouse conversion
broader: Apartment
semantic id: typology.loft
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: NOT the attic sense of the word, which is a room and belongs on SPACE. Heavily used as an aesthetic reference by people who live nowhere near a converted warehouse - the same double duty as `farmhouse`, and the reason there is no `style.loft`.

Cabin
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.cabin
definition: A small timber dwelling, rural and usually seasonal, built simply enough that the construction is the finish.
alternative label: log cabin
broader: House
semantic id: typology.cabin
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001

Warehouse
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.warehouse
definition: A building for holding goods in bulk: long clear spans, doors at vehicle height, and floors loaded for weight rather than for occupation.
alternative label: Industrial
hidden label: Industrial
semantic id: typology.warehouse
source basis: evidenced
source: architizer SUBTYPE_RULES
date: 2026-08-21
scope note: Architizer's single `Industrial` subtype covers this term and `factory` both, so a crosswalk from it is ambiguous and must decline rather than pick one.

Factory
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.factory
definition: A building where goods are made, planned around a process or a line - the sequence of the work sets the plan, where a warehouse's is set by storage and access.
alternative label: works
alternative label: plant
alternative label: Industrial
hidden label: Industrial
semantic id: typology.factory
source basis: evidenced
source: architizer SUBTYPE_RULES

Mill
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.mill
definition: A multi-storey industrial building organised around one shared power source, with the column grid and the floor-to-floor heights set by the drive rather than by the work.
semantic id: typology.mill
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: NOT parented to `factory`, deliberately. The textile mill is a factory and the water-driven corn mill is not, and one term has to cover both because the trade and the conversion market use the word for both. Forcing the parent would make the ISA false half the time.

Church
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.church
definition: A building for Christian worship, whose plan - nave, orientation, a single focus at one end - is given by the liturgy rather than chosen by the designer.
alternative label: cathedral
alternative label: parish church
alternative label: Religious & memorial
hidden label: Religious & memorial
semantic id: typology.church
source basis: evidenced
source: architizer SUBTYPE_RULES
date: 2026-08-21
scope note: Christian, explicitly. Architizer's `Religious & memorial` covers every faith and memorials besides, so it is a `seenAs` and not an equivalence.

Chapel
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.chapel
definition: A small building for Christian worship that is either subsidiary to a parish church or non-conformist; the smallness together with the absence of parish status is what makes it one.
broader: Church
semantic id: typology.chapel
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: Parented to `church` because the ISA holds as defined - a chapel building is a building for Christian worship. The chapel WITHIN a cathedral or a house is a room, not a building, and belongs on SPACE; the word covers both and this term covers only the first.

Monastery
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.monastery
definition: An enclosed group of buildings where a religious community both lives and worships, planned around a cloister with the daily offices setting the circulation.
alternative label: abbey
alternative label: priory
alternative label: convent
semantic id: typology.monastery
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: NOT parented to `church`, though it contains one. The defining programme is residential and enclosed; a monastery is not a kind of church any more than a college is a kind of library.

Castle
type: Concept
in scheme: Typology
notation: typology.castle
definition: A fortified residence: thick walls, restricted openings and a controlled approach, built for a household to live behind rather than for a garrison alone - which is the line against a fort.
semantic id: typology.castle
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001

definition: Premises displaying goods that are ordered rather than carried away, frequently trade-only; the absence of stock and of a till is the line against a shop.
alternative label: Retail
hidden label: Retail
semantic id: typology.showroom
source basis: evidenced
source: architizer SUBTYPE_RULES
date: 2026-08-21
scope note: Architizer folds this into `Retail` with `shop`, so a crosswalk from that label is ambiguous between the two and should decline.

alternative label: modernist
alternative label: international style
semantic id: style.modernism
source basis: evidenced
source: architizer, materia
date: 2026-08-21
usage withheld:
  corpus: designshop room schemes
  reason: DesignShop tags a dominant share of its room schemes `Modern`, but that is the crosswalk row that declines: `Modern` reads as either this term or `style.contemporary`, and the source never recorded which. Attributing the usage here would smuggle in the guess the crosswalk refused to make.
scope note: NOT the consumer sense of "modern". A consumer calling a room modern usually means it is current and clean-lined, which is `contemporary` here. The two are separate terms and the crosswalk from an ambiguous source label declines rather than guessing. See ADR 0001.

Mid-Century Modern
type: Concept

scope note: Style, not period. A reproduction built in 2024 is `style.mid-century-modern` in the `period.contemporary` period, which is why the two axes cannot be one.

Contemporary
type: Concept
in scheme: Style
notation: style.contemporary

Organic Modernism
type: Concept

Medieval
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.medieval
definition: Roughly 1100 to 1500 for anything with surviving fabric: load-bearing masonry, timber frames, and openings sized by what the structure would allow rather than by the room.
alternative label: Middle Ages
alternative label: mediaeval
semantic id: period.medieval
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: true
  earliest: 1066
  region: gb
  start: 1150
  end: 1485
  latest: 1550
scope note: The historical Middle Ages start far earlier, around 500, but almost nothing standing predates 1100, so the useful bracket for a building or an interior starts there.

Renaissance
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.renaissance
definition: Roughly 1400 to 1600 in Italy and 1500 to 1620 north of the Alps; the bracket is dated from when classical proportion arrived locally, so it moves by a century across Europe.
alternative label: Tudor
alternative label: Elizabethan
semantic id: period.renaissance
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: true
  earliest: 1400
  region: it
  region: gb
  region: fr
  start: 1420
  end: 1600
  latest: 1650
scope note: Tudor (1485-1603) and Elizabethan (1558-1603) are the British dynastic labels for the same span and are the ones the UK trade uses; neither covers the continental early Renaissance. Also a style name - see the header on the STYLE asymmetry.

Baroque
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.baroque
definition: Roughly 1600 to 1750, between the Renaissance and the neoclassical turn.
alternative label: Stuart
alternative label: Jacobean
semantic id: period.baroque
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: true
  earliest: 1580
  region: global
  start: 1600
  end: 1750
  latest: 1780
scope note: Stuart (1603-1714) is the British dynastic label for nearly the same span, and by this axis's own rule would be the better id; `baroque` is kept because it is what the English-language trade says of a building of this date anywhere in Europe. Jacobean (1603-1625) is a sub-span, not a synonym. Also a style name - see the header.

Georgian
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.georgian
definition: 1714 to 1830, the four Georges: classical proportion applied to ordinary building, sash windows, and the terrace and square as the unit of urban development.
alternative label: Georgian Colonial
alternative label: Federal
alternative label: Colonial
hidden label: Colonial
semantic id: period.georgian
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: false
  earliest: 1714
  region: gb
  start: 1714
  end: 1830
  latest: 1837
scope note: Georgian is used in the US market too, usually as Georgian Colonial. Federal (roughly 1780-1830) is the US label for the later half only, not for the whole span - it starts after independence, so nothing before 1776 is Federal.

Regency
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.regency
definition: The last Georgian phase, roughly 1795 to 1837: stucco over brick, cast iron balconies, and classical detail thinned and stretched.
broader: Georgian
semantic id: period.regency
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: false
  earliest: 1795
  region: gb
  start: 1811
  end: 1820
  latest: 1837
scope note: Subsumed under `georgian` because it genuinely is one - a Regency interior IS a Georgian-era interior, which is what `broaderTermId` asserts and what makes this one of the few legitimate parents on this axis. The Regency proper is only 1811-1820; the trade uses the wider bracket, and this term follows the trade.

Victorian
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.victorian
definition: 1837 to 1901: industrial production of building components, the bay window, pattern everywhere it could be printed or woven, and the first mass suburbs.
alternative label: Antebellum
alternative label: Gilded Age
semantic id: period.victorian
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: false
  earliest: 1837
  region: gb
  start: 1837
  end: 1901
  latest: 1901
scope note: Neither US label covers the span. Antebellum runs to 1861 and is regional to the American South; the Gilded Age runs roughly 1877 to 1900 and is the later half only. Between them they overlap most of the Victorian bracket and match none of it, which is why they are `altLabels` with this caveat rather than a clean crosswalk.

Edwardian
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.edwardian
definition: 1901 to 1914 in trade usage: lighter, plainer and better-lit than late Victorian, with wider plots and less pattern.
semantic id: period.edwardian
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: false
  earliest: 1901
  region: gb
  start: 1901
  end: 1910
  latest: 1914
scope note: The reign ends in 1910 but the building manner runs to the outbreak of war, and the trade dates it that way. NO US EQUIVALENT EXISTS and none is invented here - the American labels reached for at this date (Craftsman, Arts and Crafts, Prairie) are all styles, and putting one of them here would be the exact error this axis was built to stop.

Interwar
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.interwar
definition: 1918 to 1939: the semi-detached suburb, the cinema and the lido, and the point at which modernism and revivalism were being built side by side on the same street.
alternative label: between the wars
semantic id: period.interwar
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: false
  earliest: 1918
  region: global
  start: 1918
  end: 1939
  latest: 1939
scope note: The one bracket in this axis that travels without adjustment, because the dates are the same everywhere the wars were. The US decade labels - Jazz Age, Depression era - are sub-spans and are not carried as equivalents. This is where an Art Deco building of the period sits; the style claim is separate and lives on STYLE.

Mid-Century
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.mid_century
definition: 1945 to 1970: postwar reconstruction, system building, and the first interiors designed around mass-produced furniture rather than inherited pieces.
alternative label: postwar
alternative label: Mid-Century Modern
alternative label: mid-century
alternative label: midcentury
alternative label: mid_century_modern
hidden label: Mid-Century Modern
hidden label: mid-century
hidden label: midcentury
hidden label: mid_century_modern
semantic id: period.mid-century
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: true
  earliest: 1933
  region: global
  start: 1945
  end: 1965
  latest: 1975
scope note: `Mid-Century Modern` is a STYLE and appears in `seenAs` only because sources routinely write it when they mean the date. The two come apart in both directions: a 1958 local authority housing block is mid-century and not Mid-Century Modern, and a 2023 walnut sideboard is Mid-Century Modern and not mid-century.

Late Twentieth Century
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.late_century
definition: 1970 to 1999: the bracket after mid-century and before the millennium, covering the postmodern turn, the high-tech buildings and the first wave of warehouse conversion.
alternative label: late twentieth century
semantic id: period.late-century
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: true
  earliest: 1965
  region: global
  start: 1970
  end: 1999
  latest: 2000
scope note: THE WEAKEST TERM ON THIS AXIS, and flagged rather than dressed up. The trade has no settled label for these thirty years - it dates by decade, or reaches for a style name instead - so this is a bucket the axis needs for completeness rather than a period anyone asks for by name. Expect it to be split or renamed once there is usage evidence to split it on.

Contemporary
type: Concept
in scheme: Period
notation: period.contemporary
definition: 2000 onwards: built or made in the present century, whatever it looks like.
alternative label: present day
alternative label: twenty-first century
alternative label: modern
alternative label: new build
hidden label: Contemporary
hidden label: modern
hidden label: new build
semantic id: period.contemporary
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
span:
  circa: true
  earliest: 1990
  region: global
  start: 2000
scope note: DELIBERATELY OPEN-ENDED, and it will need a successor bracket eventually. Collides by name with `style.contemporary`, which means the prevailing current idiom rather than a date; the axis prefix disambiguates. A 2024 building in full Georgian pastiche is `period.contemporary` and is emphatically not `style.contemporary`, which is the case that shows why the two cannot be merged.

Grounded

type: Concept

definition: Staged and theatrical: strong contrast, deliberate focal points, a room that performs.
semantic id: mood.dramatic
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: Authored here. materialgraph's `moody` conflates darkness with theatricality; a pale, high-contrast gallery is dramatic and not moody, and a dim snug is moody and not dramatic.

Austere
type: Concept
in scheme: Mood
notation: mood.austere
definition: Deliberately without comfort or ornament, where the absence is the point rather than a shortage of budget.
alternative label: ascetic
semantic id: mood.austere
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: Authored here. Two estate vocabularies carry a monastic register (materia `tactile-monastic`, materialgraph `monastic`) that no ms_mood term reaches: `calm` and `serious` both understate it, and neither carries the renunciation.

Playful
type: Concept

Luxurious
type: Concept
in scheme: Mood
notation: mood.luxurious
definition: Expense legible and intended to be read as expense; the declared opposite of quiet luxury.
semantic id: mood.luxurious
source basis: authored
source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001
scope note: Authored here. materialgraph carries only the quiet register, but four estate terms (`art-deco-luxe`, `Contemporary Luxury`, `residential_luxury`, `hospitality_luxury`) mean the loud one, and collapsing them into `quiet_luxury` would invert their sense.

source: @instruments/taxonomy ADR 0001

scope note: NOT authored here, and the first draft of this term was the exact mistake this package exists to stop. Samplize bands every sample as light, medium or dark and the midpoint is its largest band, so a `medium` term was minted for it - without checking that colorscope already governs a five-level lightness scale with `mid` in the middle. An eighth vocabulary coining a word a governed vocabulary already had. Corrected to colorscope's id, with Samplize's spelling recorded in `seenAs` where it belongs.

Saturated
type: Concept

scope note: NOT authored here, and the second time this file made that claim. It was written as authored because colorscope's PaletteMood was checked and its COLOR_CHROMA_LEVELS was not - and the chroma scale is muted, soft, vivid, SATURATED. The same failure as `mid`, in the same file, found by an adversarial pass rather than by the check that should have caught it.
