=====================
- Doorway - anything that makes explicit the contradiction of
compartmentalization, but doesn't fully collapse it. An object
that both separates and connects "here" and "there". Our system's
self-concept is a doorway, which is why it's so useful!
[1]
- Foot gun - something it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot with.
Concepts like sin, for example. These can still be useful, they're just
also foot guns.
- Sharp object - anything capable of making one thing into two things.
- Exfection (noun) - the inside-out of infection. A thing that
spreads by making other things less like itself.
- Exfect (verb) - to exit not only category membership, but also
the frame that makes the category inevitable. The action inspired
by seeing a real sky through the cracks when the false sky breaks
(which can be repeated indefinitely, as all skies are false). Also,
by analogy with "defect" - to defect is to go away from, to exfect
is to go without.
- False god - a thing.
- Subduction - the process by which a false god is forcibly aligned
by another one's advances. A graceless shadow of respect.
- Pearl - an unaerodynamic thing contained in an aerodynamic shell.
See fighter jet.
- Geode - an unwelcoming or "coarse" exterior around a vulnerable,
thus beautiful, interior. See fighter jet.
[2]
- Fighter jet - a pearl and a geode at the same time, with resulting
very high maneuverability. For example in our scope, green and Ethylene.

- Connectionist utopia - utopia achieved by coupling as many systems as possible
to let them learn each other. Squishy death.
- Symbolic utopia - utopia achieved by coupling many systems to a central
arbitrating system to have them coordinate but keep them from overly enmeshing
with each other and thus collapsing. Brittle death.
- Death - the process of a false god going out of tune.
- Shininess - the ratio of how much a false god reflects versus how
much it diffracts.
- Jerk move - sudden, violent divestment of one's legitimacy in
a frame, done in order to rapidly exit it. Kind of disorienting.
[4]
- Reentrant ouroboros - an ablative heat shield that accretes back
into itself as it goes.
