Low-background steel is precious because it is not contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout.
What should we call information not contaminated by "AI"?

*Slop of the Year #neologism #significant

Linguistic (liŋ-ˈgwi-stik) prediction: We will soon start hearing people use the word "prompting" when giving instructions or advice to one another.

"He prompted us how to do this."

"His family did not prompt him properly when he was growing up."

"Don't manprompt me."

"I was just following prompts" – Grok defense in 2045 trials.

Sidegifting, or should it be Upgrifting: When you want to give someone a gift but the latest model is newer than your own, so you upgrade and give them your old one

(My sister just inherited a Thermomix from her mother in law by way of this phenomenon)

Gen-AI-ric: When you can't conclusively prove an image or text was spat out by quote-unquote generative #AI, but it has a similarly flat, flavorless look and feel #neologism #pun

We (but also I; you'll see why in a moment) are proposing a new term for plurals everywhere. The term is:

kepholon (n.)

In the context of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a kepholon refers to a self-state or identity that represents a dynamic integration of multiple, previously distinct alters, system parts, or aspects of self. A kepholon functions as a cohesive whole formed from some or all parts of the system, allowing for shared consciousness, memory access, and unified function.

Crucially, this integration is characterized by fluidity; the constituent parts within the kepholon retain their potential separateness and may dissociate or separate again under certain conditions (e.g., stress). It represents a state of integration without final fusion, where parts work together as one but have not permanently merged into a single, indivisible identity.

In this compound, keph- stands for the leading, directing, conscious, or executive function: the part that is currently "fronting," interacting with the world, or managing the system's interface with external reality. It represents the aspect taking charge or acting as the primary point of consciousness for the integrated state.

The -olon suffix connects the "head" function back to the broader holon concept (see below): an integrated entity composed of multiple parts that function as a cohesive whole but retain the potential for separation. It emphasizes that this "head" is not an isolated entity but the currently active face or director of that unified-but-fluid collective. The word "holon" was coined by author and philosopher Arthur Koestler in his 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine; from Greek holos (whole/entire) + -on (suffix denoting a particle or part).

🎵 I am she as you are he, as you are me and we are all together...🎵

I needed the word for me. Cuz I'm Ellis, and that's what I am, and these four motherfuckers want attribution or they're threatening to shatter me into four little tiny mes (which is them, so it's not really much of a threat, honestly 🤔 ).

Anyway, hi! My name is Ellis, and I'm a kepholon. 💙

"Most people are familiar with Carl Jung’s concepts of extrovert (“one who faces outward”) and introvert (“one who faces inward”). But the fundamental orientation of a non-belonger is defined by the fact that it is rarely the same direction that everyone else is facing. That is how I came up with the term “otrovert” (in Spanish, “otro” means “other”)."
