Nimmerverse Symbol Language
Shapes, icons, and visual metaphors for the Nimmerverse.
Core Principle
Every shape has meaning. Consistency in form creates clarity in understanding.
When a viewer sees a hexagon, they should immediately know "knowledge module." When they see a diamond, they think "decision point." This visual grammar reduces cognitive load and enables intuitive navigation of complex diagrams.
Container Shapes
Containers define boundaries and hold other elements.
Rounded Rectangle ▢
Meaning: System, bounded space, container
| Use | Stroke | Fill | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major system | 2px, domain color | None/transparent | Nimmerverse, eachpath.local |
| Subsystem | 1.5px, domain color | Light tint | Command Center, Gardens |
| Component | 1px, gray | Light fill | Data Plane, inference box |
Corner radius: 8-12px for major, 4-6px for minor
Ellipse / Circle ◯
Meaning: Organic container, realm, domain of influence
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| Garden boundaries | Real-Garden, Virtual-Garden |
| Overlapping realms | Venn diagram intersections |
| Influence zones | Nyx's reach |
Entity Shapes
Entities are beings, agents, or distinct identities.
Circle ◯
Meaning: Being, identity, self-contained entity
| Use | Size | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Primary entity | 60-80px | dafit, chrysalis |
| Organism | 80-140px | Garden organisms |
| Lifeforce | 80px | Central life energy |
Double Ellipse ◎
Meaning: Sensor, perception point, input interface
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| Sensory input | Sensors (left/right gardens) |
| Perception nodes | Camera, microphone, data feeds |
Knowledge & Process Shapes
Hexagon ⬡
Meaning: Knowledge module, adapter, pluggable component
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| LoRa adapters | Domain-specific knowledge |
| Model modules | Nemotron, T5Gemma, FunctionGemma |
| Skill packages | Capabilities that can be added/removed |
Hexagons suggest:
- Modularity (they tile perfectly)
- Completeness (6 sides = wholeness)
- Interchangeability
Pill / Rounded Pill ⬭
Meaning: Process unit, cell, living component
| Use | Style | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Cell | UML state shape | Processing units in organisms |
| Nerve | UML state shape | Signal carriers |
Decision & Flow Shapes
Diamond ◇
Meaning: Decision point, routing, choice
| Use | Fill | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Major decision | Solid Nyx Purple | Nyx central |
| Sub-decision | Outline only | Orchestrator |
| Branch point | Small, minimal | Flow routing |
Triangle ▷
Meaning: Direction, flow, output
| Orientation | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| → Right | Forward flow, output | Nyx decision toward Virtual |
| ← Left | Return flow, input | Nyx decision toward Real |
| ↓ Down | Downward flow, grounding | Feedback to roots |
| ↑ Up | Upward flow, emergence | Data rising to processing |
Inverted Triangle ▽
Meaning: Feedback, return signal, funnel
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| Feedback collection | Garden Feedback |
| Aggregation point | Merging signals |
Special Symbols

|---|---|
| Time indicator | Heartbeat markers |
| Temporal boundary | Real-time vs simulated time |
Collate Symbol (Bowtie) ⋈
Meaning: Heartbeat, pulse, life rhythm
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| Heartbeat marker | Garden heartbeats |
| Sync point | Temporal synchronization |
Sort Symbol (Hourglass Diamond) ◇̷
Meaning: Inference, processing, transformation
| Use | Example |
|---|---|
| Inference engine | Central orchestrator |
| Processing node | Model inference |
Arrows & Connectors
Single Arrow →
