Welcome to the Grid Society Lexicon,

Every term in our Grid Society lexicon exists to describe life on the Universal Grid, the fictional world we created to map human progress and reflect real-life experience through a powerful, structured metaphor.

But this is more than just vocabulary to describe our world. Much to our delight, it has become a shared language. Used by Grid Society readers and workshop attendees to name emotion, pinpoint their current location in life and speak with precision about the shifts they are experiencing and making.

Our terms give shape to what is often invisible. They help people explain the hard-to-explain. Where they are, what they are facing and where they are determined to go next.

From one Society to another

In your society

You might use the term making moves, hustling, chasing, trying to move forward or trying to get ahead.

In our society

We call it making gridmoves. Read on and we will tell you why.

What GRIDMOVES actually means according to our concept

Gridmoves is one of our most sacred terms.

It is used by the people of the Grid, whom we call Gridites, to describe their journey across the Universal Grid. But only one kind of character is capable of making true Gridmoves. We call them Gridchangers.

Gridchangers are not just wandering. They are shifting strategically, consciously and with purpose. Gridmoves are the intentional steps made by those brave enough to evolve. They are consistent actions underpinned by a vision. They are decisions that build momentum and move you forward.

Are you a Gridchanger?

Are you making Gridmoves or just moving?
