Collected

First Appearance and Context

The usage appears in conversation during Apert to describe someone whom guardians or observers hope will be brought into the math. In context, “Collected” signals the desired outcome that the person be admitted directly rather than progressing from the Unarian community.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

“Collected” designates the status of an entrant who comes in through Collection, the intake channel that admits people straight from outside during Apert, complementing those who enter by graduation. A Collected person becomes an Avout upon admission and then follows the Discipline alongside other members of the cohort.

Relationships

• Closely tied to Collection, which is the process that creates Collected entrants.
• Used in planning and conversation around Apert, when most intakes occur.

Descriptions/Characteristics

The word is commonly used as a verb or predicate adjective (e.g., “to be Collected”) for prospective entrants who seem well suited to mathic life or whose families encourage admission during the opening.

Current Status/Location

The term is current in use during the present Apert, and Collected entrants are expected alongside graduates to meet cohort needs.
