Lexicon Spotlight
Polytessopathy
noun
A condition or phenomenon characterized by the complex, layered interplay of multiple patterns, systems, or structures that interact in ways that may lead to both harmony and dysfunction. It suggests a state where the coexistence of intricate arrangements can create a dynamic but sometimes overwhelming or chaotic environment.
Etymology & Example
Etymology:
From “poly-” (Greek for “many”), “tessera” (Latin for a small tile or piece used in mosaics, indicating patterns), and “pathy” (Greek for “suffering” or “condition”), indicating a state defined by the interaction of multiple interwoven systems or patterns.
Example Sentence:
The organization struggled with polytessopathy, as overlapping responsibilities and systems created both synergies and conflicts within the team.
Fauxtime
noun
An archaic conceptual framework for understanding time in a linear manner, where it is segmented into distinct units such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years. Fauxtime contrasts with neo understandings of alltimeplace.
Etymology & Example
Etymology:
From “faux,” meaning false or artificial, and “time,” signifying its limited interpretation of temporality.
Example Sentence:
Clocks and calendars are remnants of fauxtime, relics of an outdated way of measuring the immeasurable.
Fauxcarcity
noun
The artificial or manipulated perception of scarcity, often used as a tool for economic, social, or psychological control. Fauxcarcity occurs when abundance is intentionally concealed or restricted to maintain power, drive demand, or create a sense of urgency and dependence. It is frequently employed in capitalism, classism, and other hierarchical structures to reinforce inequality and perpetuate the illusion of lack.
Etymology & Example
Etymology:
A fusion of faux (French for “false” or “artificial”) and scarcity, indicating a contrived or deceptive shortage rather than a genuine lack of resources.
Example Sentence:
The housing crisis isn’t due to a lack of homes; it’s a case of fauxcarcity, where empty properties are deliberately withheld to inflate prices.
