Peregrin

First Appearance and Context

Avout use the term in everyday speech to classify kinds of conversations. In one Apert walk extramuros, a pair of fraas explicitly describe their exchange as a "peregrin dialog," meaning two equals wandering together to work something out, rather than engaging in instruction or debate.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

Within mathic discourse, Peregrin denotes a style or mode of inquiry characterized by peer-to-peer exploration while in motion. It is contrasted with other named modes, such as a suvinian dialog (a fid being taught by a mentor) and a Periklynian dialog (a combative exchange). The term also names a philosophical tradition, invoked in argument as having anticipated later, well‑known formulations.

Relationships

• Contrasted with suvinian dialog (instructional, mentor–fid)
• Contrasted with Periklynian dialog (combative, adversarial)
• Referenced in relation to a later Saunt’s ideas (a Peregrin philosopher is cited as a precursor)

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Dialogue between equals
• Peripatetic and exploratory: participants wander together while reasoning
• Collaborative, open‑ended problem‑solving rather than didactic teaching or rhetorical combat

Current Status/Location

The term is in active use among avout to describe conversational posture and method, and it also survives as the label of an older philosophical tradition mentioned in contemporary discussions.
