IAQ LEXICON
This Is Not A Dictionary.
The IAQ Lexicon is a living map of ideas discovered inside questions.
Every IAQ article can introduce a new concept, reveal a hidden mechanism, or give a name to a pattern that did not have one before. When an idea becomes strong enough, it may enter the Lexicon.
But not every candidate appears here. There are far more Lexicon candidates living inside IAQ articles than the concepts currently published on this page. The Lexicon grows selectively, as ideas connect, deepen, and begin to form families of their own.
What Do The Levels Mean?
A higher level does not mean “better.” It means deeper in the conceptual chain.
The article feeds the Lexicon.
The Lexicon connects the articles.
Sometimes one question creates a word that helps us ask the next question differently.
Not all words are written. Some are discovered.

Clinical Representation Gap
A medical record can become more complete while the person inside it becomes less visible.
The widening distance between a clinical representation built from measurements and the patient's experience of symptoms, priorities, burdens, identity, and daily life.
Examples
- dashboards containing extensive data but little patient context
- test results dominating symptom experience
- clinical metrics missing daily functional burden
- patients repeating priorities absent from structured records
