Gameplay Effect — definition that changes attributes or tags immediately, periodically, or for a duration.

Gameplay Tag domain — one generated tag struct type with its own registry and optional metadata.

Input context — prioritized mapping from network input channels and triggers to handler methods.

Network model — generated deterministic state representation for a regular class or struct.

Network ScriptableObject — authored definition with a stable asset identity understood by Fusion.

Prediction / rollback — Fusion simulation of expected state and correction by replaying ticks when authority disagrees.

Subsystem — automatically owned service with either GameInstance or World lifetime.

TickTimer — Fusion deadline stored in network state and evaluated against simulation ticks.

Travel — replacing the current runner/world map through GameInstance.

Widget — RedEngine UI presentation element managed by WidgetSubsystem.
