"Working definitions" are existing terms whose definitions we are attempting to pin down in order to allow for more cogent discussion within Issuepedia.

The definitions used here may be narrower or even somewhat at variance from their general usage; this is sometimes necessary when there isn't a word which specifically refers to a given key concept, but there is a word which is close in meaning to that concept, and there are other words left over to encompass the other usages.

See the terms of convenience category for terms that were probably invented for use within Issuepedia.
