ironic idealism 

The outer limit of postmodernism. Idealism viewed ironically. Does not cover ironic nihilism which is a form of ironic idealism but falls OUTSIDE of the limits of postmodernism. Consistent with postmodernism's idyllic denialism or its perception of idealism as unreachable or unattainable except through irony.
Hollywood films 1990-2010 contain themes of ironic idealism or idealism viewed ironically.

Vikaas irony 

The ironic relationship between time and consciousness; the final irony. Conscious irony or ironic consciousness. The irony that consciousness perceives time (reality) in linear terms; but is created by cyclical time.

The irony that consciousness cannot traverse linear time agentically because it is a cyclical framework, ie., consciousness cannot both exist AND and travel backwards in time.

The irony that consciousness may be traversing cyclical time (present - - > future) unconsciously because it perceives time linearly (in retrospect; present - - > past).

The irony that the past does not exist (linearity as an illusion) and the future is concurrent with the present and even impacts it.

The irony that free will and consciousness are extraneous to each other.

Implication of the Vikaasian Paradox.
Vikaas irony describes irony ascending above literary, existential, and ideal context; and into the realm of the conscious.

meta-real 

The concept of self-reference as the only paradigm of reality.

The assertion that the material has no reality aside from its aesthetic (appearance (phenomenona)); and is therefore real only in self-reference (meta-"real").

Argues that the linear past is real only in self-reference (aesthetic); that the past is not MATERIALLY real; and that self-reference is indicative of a cyclical future rather than a linear past.

Stipulates self-reference as a paradigm in which time and aesthetic are one.

Indicates that the conscious self appears from the self-reference between the material and the chronistic.
Material is only real insomuch as it is meta-real.

synthetic materialism 

A framework of material reality as a manifestation of the irreversible nature of linear time

Posits linear time, material reality, and history as illusions or antitheses of Nietzsche's nihilism.

The synthesis of Karl Marx's dialectical materialism
Synthetic materialism argues that there is no history and by extension that there is no material reality.

Rather than material reality creating the illusion of a past, synthetic materialism argues that the past creates the illusion of material reality

Vikaas Rule 

The Vikaas rule states that deconstructionism will convert a singularity into a duality; rather than a duality into a singularity.
Existential deconstructionism delineating the body politic into two counter-posing sides is a manifestation of the Vikaas Rule.

Hypermodernism 

Nihilism specifically nihilism in its aesthetic form (skeuomorphism) masquerading as postmodernism. (Nihilism externalizes (individualizes) the irony that postmodernism internalizes (existentializes (collectivizes)).

Hypermodernism deconstructs the material form-function duality of Postmodernism into the material design-attribute duality characteristic of metamaterials.

Hypermodernism is based on the Vikaas rule, which states that in Postmodern deconstructionism, a singularity bifurcates into a duality; rather than a duality converging into a singularity.
Postmodernism internalizes its own ironies rather than account for (recurse with) them. Nihilism regurgitates these ironies in its aesthetic manifestation (skeuomorph). The externalization of this irony is called Hypermodernism.
