Explanation
A shared sense of what is plausible, appropriate, or judgeable within a community. It mediates between individual judgement and collectively presupposed standards without necessarily proving them.
Example
The claim appeals to what this community regards as self-evident.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Common sense” without the described function is not a sufficient example.
Distinction
Do not confuse it with mere majority opinion; common sense also denotes a capacity for shared judgement.
Effect on thought and perception
It mediates between individual judgement and collectively presupposed standards without necessarily proving them.
Resonance
In the atlas, Common sense closes 1 previously unresolved reference line(s) and opens controlled paths of thought.
Etymology
Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
Provenance
ATLAS 241 residual-case triage → profile candidate 241-A → source and neighbourhood cross-check → ATLAS 242
