Brand Language Architecture™

The Terminology of a
New Communication Discipline

Brand Language Architecture™ is a formal communication discipline created by Rule of Three — a system for defining, governing and scaling a brand’s voice in the age of intelligent tools.

This glossary captures the core terminology of the field: the roles, components and principles that shape how modern organisations express meaning with clarity and coherence.

Each definition supports the architecture behind the Rule of Three Language System™, establishing a shared vocabulary for teams, creators and AI systems alike.
