Avout: A person or group of people who have taken the vows of the Discipline and joined the closed world of a Math to concentrate on studies of science, history and philosophy. The life of an Avout is in many respects monastic, with a prohibition of personal possessions, the practice of communal living, and participation in ritual ceremonies. However, the vocation and principle occupation of the Avout is scholarship and not religion.
