A glossary of what? That depends on the writers having a meta-view of their own work, and a pre-determined shared point of view between audience and author

Not necessarily. You could just define your big loose terms in a fun way to throw people off the deep end Inyo your thinking. No prior knowledge needed

It would be a sobering critique of a lot of writing about post-post-mo to structure a book that was 95% definitions at the front, and then just 5% of dense exposition at the end. Like the Heart Sutra written in Tolkien High Elvish or something. Math proofs are like this.
