I wish a lot of nonfiction books would start with a glossary. Like some pulp fiction (eg Perry Mason novels) begins with dramatis personae like in plays. Dramatis Ideatae? Dramatis Memetae? Someone latinize these.

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
