Those definitions are definitely technical, special definitions relating to Emacs, and are special in Emacs. If you don't see, I cannot help, I see special technical definitions that relate to Emacs. Glossary is looked upon at any time. One cannot assume that a hyperlinked info document is read in some order. Glossary shall contain all terms and definitions used in the info to help an user clarify the meanings. If necessary, just as with other terms, it can point back or hyperlink to various info sections.

Actually, "self-documenting" _is_ used elsewhere, but then it's already in the Glossary. The rest are used exactly once, in this section.

Yes. I think so. I remember that first computers did not have monitors. Calculations have been entered on keyboard on a large box kind of a table (computer) and output went to printer, the printer was printing all the time. One could make nice Betty Boop pictures and other erotic cartoons all made out of letters and numbers. I am sure that some type of editor existed back at that time. But the word "display" may not be directly related to monitor, rather to simple displaying, as full term was "real-time display" which would mean, it changes text in the moment when you see it being changed and it displays text in the moment when you have changed it. Then when monitors arrived, there were probably editors like stream editor sed or ed as line editor, I ma just guessing, and the standard GNU line editor "ed" If I wish to edit with "ed" I would say: $ ed file but then nothing would happen, nothing would be displayed. I would need to do something like: i New line written here . w 22 q then the line "New line written here" would be in the file, as I saved it with "w" for 22 bytes, and quit with "q" Now, at the moment of writin the "New line written here", the line was maybe part of the text, I do not know, but it was not displayed in real time. Thus "real time display" editor is (probably) comparison to line editors. This comparison was useful back in time, today it is hard to explain to people.

Emacs can't be described as "real-time" because it doesn't meet the demands of real-time systems according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing that at least require deterministic garbage collection.

Terms and words have different definitions and the definition depends of the context. For me, Emacs is real time, but in the context of above mentioned "real time computing" Emacs may not be real time computing. >From Wordnet dictionary: * Overview of noun real_time The noun real time has 2 senses (no senses from tagged texts) 1. real time -- (the actual time that it takes a process to occur; "information is updated in real time") 2. real time -- ((computer science) the time it takes for a process under computer control to occur) Obviously there are different context, and there may be other definitions, so Emacs is real time for the user. The context of "real time display" was related to "ed", and not to real time computing in computer science. Is it not so?
