Definition

ch'ulme (noun) — the distributed-soul-essence as cosmic web; the animating sacred-substance that is not confined to the body but spread across multiple living nodes simultaneously — body, spirit-companion, blood-kin, corn-substance, ancestors, sacred objects — each node carrying the whole essence; the person as a distributed field rather than a bounded individual; received as ordinance (the distribution is given, not chosen).
