Semantic Fidelity

When words still carry their original meaning instead of getting twisted by algorithms, brands, or culture. The opposite of when “authentic” somehow means staged. High semantic fidelity = language actually says what it means.

“Bro, that ad copy has zero semantic fidelity. It’s like reading a chatbot trained on vibes.”

Filter Fatigue

The exhaustion that hits when you can’t tell if anything online is real anymore: faces, food pics, even sunsets. It’s when the endless stream of filters, edits, and AI touch-ups makes your brain tired of decoding what’s authentic.

Bro, I didn’t even swipe on Tinder tonight. Total filter fatigue. Everyone looked like they were generated in a lab.

DRIFT PRINCIPLE

The idea that when a system optimizes too fast (for efficiency, engagement, or simplicity), the fidelity of meaning drops and reality starts to feel thinner, flatter, or slightly fake. It’s what happens when everything becomes streamlined but nothing feels grounded anymore.

“Instagram used to feel real, but now it’s all the same recycled vibe. Total Drift Principle. Compression outran fidelity.”
