Conspiracy:
Derived from the Latin word "conspirare," meaning "to agree, unite, or plot." In modern English, it refers to a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
Sphere: From the Greek word "sphaira," which means "ball or globe." In English, it has come to signify a particular social world or domain of activity or interest.
Etymological Explanation:
The term "conspirisphere" merges the idea of a "conspiracy" with that of a "sphere" or domain, illustrating a conceptual space or bubble where conspiracy-centric views dominate and often isolate believers from broader or contrasting perspectives.
Definition:
A cognitive domain or bubble wherein individuals are so deeply entrenched in conspiracy beliefs that their decision-making processes and perceptions become isolated from external realities. This state, reminiscent of "bubble logic," restricts their ability to critically evaluate or consider information outside of their established conspiracy narratives. Like those trapped by overpowering desires or addictions, individuals within the conspirisphere are often blinded by their convictions, overlooking evidence or perspectives that might challenge their views.

Noun phrase
A Synchronic Event is a classification for a sequence or series of synchronicities that have occurred with enough frequency or significance to warrant focused study, interpretation, or action. Unlike "synchronicity," which denotes the observation of meaningfully related but non-causal events, "Synchronic Event" represents the singularity of these events as a collective entity, implying a heightened level of recognition and intention to understand or engage with them.
Etymology:
The term "Synchronic Event" combines "synchronic," which is derived from "synchronicity," with "event." This pairing creates a novel concept that extends beyond mere observation of coincidental or meaningfully related events. Instead, it moves toward intentional recognition and focused study or analysis of such occurrences when they form a pattern or sequence that warrants further attention.
Usage:
In academic contexts, especially within the realms of psychology, sociology, and philosophy, a Synchronic Event refers to a specifically identified series of non-causal but meaningfully connected occurrences that prompt further investigation or action.
