The Grammar of What Counts

An Encyclopedia of Social-Process Reality

Social reality is generated when events come to count within contexts, under constitutive rules, through institutional recognition, producing statuses and commitments that are justified by evidence, interpreted through narrative, and preserved in ledgers.

What happens → what counts → what binds → what is recorded → what shapes future action.
