Concepts

Activity, Audience, AT, Registration, Attendance, Passport, Circle, Facets, and Presence.

Activity

An Activity is a scheduled moment where people can commit to be present.

Not a generic calendar event or social post.

Audience

Audience defines who can see and join an Activity — Public or Circle.

Not the same as Registration status.

AT

AT is the destination of presence — a court, café, office, Zoom room, or Discord server.

Not just a map pin; AT is first-class.

Registration

Registration is the join state: confirmed, waitlisted, invited, pending approval, or left.

Not ticket sales or payment status.

Attendance

Attendance is the factual record of whether someone showed up.

Not RSVP intent; Attendance is written at check-in.

Passport

A Passport is the factual history of participation across Activities.

Not a score, rank, or social reputation system.

Circle

A Circle is a private group; Activities can start Circle-first before going Public.

Not a chat group or follower list.

Opportunity

An Opportunity is a factual suggestion to create an Activity when availabilities converge.

Nothing is auto-created; a human always accepts.

Facet

A Facet is a flexible key/value tag describing compatibility (level:advanced, sport:padel).

Not a rigid product category in the database.

Presence

Presence is being at the right place at the right time — the outcome SHOWUPAT optimizes.

Not online status or last-seen.

Showed Up

Showed Up (Attendance.SHOWED_UP) is the verified fact that a participant was present.

Not confirmed registration or calendar acceptance.

Waitlist

Waitlist holds participants when an Activity is full until a slot opens.

Not a mailing list.

No-show

No-show records that someone confirmed but did not attend.

Not a penalty score; it is an honest factual record.
