Oxydox

Definition: A logical construct where a linguistic contradiction (oxymoron) and a structural loop (paradox) converge to reveal a valid truth. Unlike a pure paradox, which may be unsolvable, an oxydox describes a functional reality (e.g., "Fixed Motion" in physics).
Equation: Oxymoron + Paradox + Truth = Oxydox.

Example: "To the uneducated, quantum mechanics sounds like nonsense, but to the physicist, it is a perfect oxydox."
