Context

The ACG (Agent Computation Graph) formalism from arXiv:2512.08296 provides a useful external reference vocabulary for describing agent execution graphs. SynthOrg's architecture maps cleanly onto ACG concepts but uses different names.

The mapping table exists in docs/research/acg-formalism-evaluation.md. It should be extracted into a standalone reference document so it can be linked from the design spec and cited in research communications without requiring readers to read the full evaluation.

Source: docs/research/acg-formalism-evaluation.md, closes research #848.

Solution

Create docs/architecture/acg-glossary.md containing:

• Bidirectional mapping table: ACG concept -> SynthOrg equivalent (and vice versa)
• Brief note on concepts SynthOrg extends beyond ACG (trust, personality, autonomy, memory, prompt profiles)
• Brief note on ACG concepts SynthOrg currently lacks or handles differently
• Link back to the full evaluation in docs/research/

Add a reference to the glossary in docs/DESIGN_SPEC.md under the Architecture section.
