How to read this

Every construct on the map is compared with every other by the meaning of its definitions, and the closest one is surfaced here. The nearest construct to passage is ritual.

Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

Anthropology

a ritual that carries a person from one social state to another, such as initiation, marriage, or death.

A rite of passage is a ritual that carries a person from one social state to another, such as birth, initiation, marriage, or death. Arnold van Gennep's 1909 Les rites de passage coined the phrase and argued that such rituals share a three-part shape: separation from the old state, a transitional in-between stage, and incorporation into the new one; Victor Turner's 1969 The ritual process developed the middle, liminal stage in detail. The referent is a patterned social ceremony marking a change of status, not a stretch of music or the subculturing of cells in a laboratory.[1][2]
