Hypothesis of Extended Thermodynamics
A broader version of the Extended Causality Hypothesis, applying specifically to thermodynamic laws—proposing that the laws of thermodynamics we know (conservation of energy, increase of entropy, unattainability of absolute zero) apply within our observational domain, but extended thermodynamic principles may operate beyond it. This hypothesis suggests that phenomena that appear to violate thermodynamics (perpetual motion, entropy decrease, energy from nowhere) might be lawful within an extended framework. A system that seems to produce energy might be drawing from thermodynamic dimensions we can't measure; an event that appears to decrease entropy might be exporting it to domains we can't see; what looks like violation might be interaction with extended thermodynamic space. The hypothesis provides a framework for understanding claims of free energy, anomalous cooling, or reverse entropy without dismissing them as impossible—they might be impossible within our thermodynamics but possible within extended thermodynamics.
Example: "The device seemed to produce more energy than it consumed—a clear violation of thermodynamics. But the Hypothesis of Extended Thermodynamics suggests it might be drawing energy from dimensions we can't measure, operating according to laws we haven't yet discovered. The violation is only in our limited frame."

Hypothesis of Extended Physics
A broader version of the Extended Causality Hypothesis, proposing that the known laws of physics are not complete but are projections or subsets of a larger, extended physics that operates beyond our current observational capabilities. The hypothesis suggests that what we call "physics" is what we can detect from within spacetime—but there may be extended physics that operates outside, beyond, or between the domains we can access. This extended physics might include phenomena currently considered impossible (FTL travel, telepathy, precognition) that are perfectly lawful in a larger framework. It might include dimensions beyond our perceptual reach, forces beyond our measurement, entities beyond our detection. The hypothesis doesn't claim that magic is real—it claims that our current physics is real but incomplete, and that an extended physics awaits discovery when we find ways to access domains beyond our current observational limits. It provides a framework for taking anomalies seriously without abandoning scientific rigor: anomalies might be windows into extended physics, not violations of physics.
Example: "The Hypothesis of Extended Physics suggests that FTL travel isn't impossible—it's just impossible within our current observational domain. In the extended physics that includes higher dimensions, it might be as natural as walking. We can't see it yet, but that doesn't mean it's not there."

Theory of Computation of the Laws of Physics
A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics are fundamentally computational in nature—that the universe operates as a vast information-processing system, and physical laws are the algorithms it runs. This theory draws on insights from digital physics, quantum computation, and information theory to suggest that information, not matter or energy, may be the most fundamental substrate of reality. It investigates questions like: Is the universe a quantum computer? Are physical laws algorithms? Is time a computation? Is space a data structure? Are particles information? The theory has profound implications: if the universe is computational, then what we call "laws" might be the rules of the cosmic program, and understanding them means reverse-engineering the code. It also suggests limits: computational irreducibility might mean some phenomena can't be predicted, only simulated; computational universality might mean the universe can simulate anything, including itself; computational complexity might explain why some physical problems are hard. The theory of computation of physical laws transforms our understanding of what laws are and what it means to know them.
Example: "Her theory of computation of the laws of physics suggested that the universe isn't just described by mathematics—it is mathematics, running as computation. The laws aren't written in the language of mathematics; they are the language, executing in real time, generating reality as they run."

Theory of Programming the Laws of Physics
A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics are not eternal, immutable decrees but rather something akin to a program—code written into the fabric of reality that could, in principle, be read, understood, and perhaps even modified. This theory draws on analogies with computer science: the universe as a vast computational system, physical laws as its operating system, constants as parameters, particles as data structures, interactions as functions. It suggests that what we experience as "laws" might be the running of a cosmic program—and that sufficiently advanced understanding might allow us to access the source code. The theory opens possibilities that traditional physics forecloses: that laws might have been different in other cosmic epochs; that they might vary across regions of the multiverse; that they might be patchable or upgradeable; that intelligence might eventually learn to program reality itself. It also provides a framework for understanding paraphysical phenomena: if the universe is running on code, then what we call "paranormal" might be interactions with aspects of the program we don't yet understand—undocumented features, developer backdoors, or glitches in the matrix.
Example: "His theory of programming the laws of physics suggested that the constants we measure aren't fundamental—they're settings in a cosmic program, parameters that could be changed. The universe isn't a machine running on fixed laws; it's a computer running code, and we're just beginning to learn the language."

Harassposter
A person who systematically engages in harassposting—the strategic, sustained use of provocative content designed to torment targets while remaining just within platform guidelines, with the ultimate goal of provoking a reaction that can be reported as harassment. The harassposter is distinguished from ordinary trolls by their methodical approach and their weaponization of platform moderation systems. They are patient, often targeting the same person across multiple servers, platforms, or time periods. They document everything—saving screenshots of every reactive outburst, every angry reply, every frustrated confession—while ensuring their own provocations remain plausibly deniable. They understand platform rules intimately, knowing exactly where the line is and how to dance just on the safe side. They often present themselves as reasonable, concerned, or simply asking questions, while their targets appear increasingly unhinged. The harassposter's goal is not just to cause pain but to get the target punished—banned, silenced, discredited—while they themselves emerge as the aggrieved party, the victim of "harassment" they carefully engineered. They are the digital equivalent of someone who pokes a caged animal until it snarls, then calls the authorities to report a dangerous beast.
Example: "She spent months documenting every angry reaction she could provoke, building a dossier of 'harassment' while her own harassposts remained just inside the rules. When she finally got her target banned, she posted the screenshots triumphantly—proof, she claimed, that she was the victim. Classic harassposter: provoke, document, report, repeat."

Harasspost
A form of digital baiting where a user systematically posts content designed to provoke, torment, or destabilize a target—with the specific intention of eliciting a reactive response that can be framed as harassment. Unlike ordinary trolling (which seeks amusement) or direct harassment (which is the overt attack), harasspost operates through accumulation: each post, by itself, might seem minor, even defensible—a "subtle dig," a "legitimate question," a "joke," a "concern." But together, they create a relentless campaign of psychological pressure. The harasser posts strategically, often over long periods, building a case file of the target's reactions while keeping their own provocations just within platform rules. When the target finally snaps and responds with genuine anger or frustration, the harassposter has what they wanted: a screenshot, a reportable offense, evidence that they are the victim. The platform, seeing only the reactive outburst and not the months of subtle provocation, bans the target. Harasspost weaponizes the very mechanisms designed to protect users—reporting systems, content moderation, community guidelines—turning them into tools for targeted destruction. It's the digital equivalent of water torture: drop by drop, each harmless alone, together devastating.
Example: "For six months, he harassposted her—'just asking questions' about her qualifications, 'joking' about her trauma, 'concern trolling' her mental health. She blocked, ignored, reported. Nothing happened because each post alone was 'within guidelines.' Then she called him a 'malignant piece of shit' and was banned within hours. Harasspost had worked exactly as designed."

Theory of Digital Mass Dissociation of Late-Stage Capitalism
A theoretical framework examining how digital technologies enable mass dissociation at population scale under late-stage capitalism. The theory investigates how platform ecosystems create mass dissociative states: algorithmic feed curation that keeps billions in personalized reality bubbles; viral dynamics that amplify emotional content over systemic understanding; search engine optimization that surfaces comforting rather than challenging information; digital advertising that reframes consumption as identity and freedom; social media architectures that reward outrage without reflection, awareness without action. It also examines how digital infrastructures enable mass dissociation from the consequences of capitalism: supply chains rendered invisible by e-commerce interfaces; labor conditions obscured by app-based service delivery; environmental impacts hidden behind seamless consumption experiences. This theory reveals that digital mass dissociation is not a bug of platform capitalism but its central feature—a system designed to keep populations productively unaware while extracting maximum value.
Example: "His theory of digital mass dissociation of late-stage capitalism showed how Amazon creates perfect dissociation from consumption—click a button, and a product appears, with no visibility of the warehouses, workers, or environmental costs that made it possible. The interface is designed to ensure you never have to connect consumption to consequence."
