// every system does five things
the system takes    // input arrives
the system chooses  // a decision is made
the system emits    // events go out
the system gives    // results are delivered
the system fails    // and recovers

All five domains, transferred together to your registrar. One grammar (third-person present: the system takes, chooses, emits, gives, fails), so the names work as a product family, docs vocabulary or brand system from day one.
