FEMIVORIA
The system's ability to consume feminist rebellion and sell it back as a product, aesthetic, identity, or marketing category. Resistance becomes content. Protest becomes merchandise. Revolution becomes something that can be purchased, branded, photographed, and monetized without threatening the structure that produced the rebellion.

The slogan that once appeared on protest signs was now printed on expensive clothing. The corporation selling it had no interest in dismantling the conditions the slogan described. The rebellion had not disappeared. It had become profitable. That absorption was femivoria.
GENDARCHY
The governing structure of gender that survives independently of formal law and reproduces itself through everyday behavior. A system can change constitutions, policies, and official rules while the same hierarchy continues operating through expectations, habits, punishment, and social conditioning.

QUELORIC
The impossibility of knowing whether any of your choices are genuinely yours. Not simply whether free will exists, but whether the person making the decision can ever separate the decision from biology, upbringing, fear, memory, social conditioning, desire, and every previous event that created the person capable of choosing.

Omnure
Everything simultaneously feeling like too much and completely insufficient. A state in which stimulation, responsibilities, people, possibilities, and information can all become excessive while somehow still failing to produce a sense of fullness. Not merely overwhelm. Not merely emptiness. Both at once.

Her phone would not stop buzzing. Her schedule was full. People wanted things from her all day. Yet when the noise finally stopped, there was still the strange feeling that nothing had happened. More would be too much. Less would be empty. There was no comfortable amount. That impossible both-at-once was omnure.
Norvik
The philosophical position that all meaning is invented, but not all inventions are equally survivable. The quiet territory between nihilism and naive optimism. Norvik accepts the possibility of an indifferent universe without concluding that every human-created meaning is therefore worthless.

He stopped asking the universe to give him a purpose. There might not be one. But he also refused to conclude that nothing mattered simply because meaning was human made. He began asking a different question instead. If the stories are invented, which ones still make life worth living? That position was norvik.
Vrethi
The realization that the part of you watching your thoughts is also just another thought. The observer dissolves the moment you try to look directly at it. It is the point where consciousness examining itself discovers that the supposed observer cannot easily be separated from the thing being observed.

He sat in meditation and tried to find the thing that was watching his thoughts. Every time he found an observer, he realized he was observing that observer too. There was always another layer. Eventually the search stopped producing a watcher at all. The observer had dissolved into the observation. That was vrethi.
THREMIC
The anxiety specific to being truly known by someone. Not fear of judgment. Fear of accuracy. The unsettling realization that another person has seen past the version of yourself you normally control and understands you more precisely than you expected.

She was not afraid that he would judge her. She was afraid that he would understand her correctly. Judgment could be argued with. Accuracy could not. The closer he got, the harder it became to maintain the version of herself she had rehearsed for everyone else. That was thremic.
